- the derivation unit 62 determines that the measurement value has improved by the execution of the action AC 1 . Then, the number of examinees showing improvements in the corresponding field of the statistical table 70 is incremented. Similarly, also in a case where the measurement value V 1 A before performing the action AC 1 is in the abnormal range and the measurement value V 1 B obtained within a predetermined period (for example, one week) after the end of the action AC 1 is in the normal range as shown in FIG.

Similarly, also in a case where the measurement value V 1 A before performing the action AC 1 is in the abnormal range and the measurement value V 1 B obtained within a predetermined period (for example, one week) after the end of the action AC 1 is in the abnormal range as shown in FIG.
- the derivation unit 62 determines that the measurement value has not improved, and increments the number of examinees showing no improvement in the corresponding field of the statistical table 70 .
- FIGS. 12 to 17 exemplify cases where the measurement item is I 1 and the action is AC 1 .
- FIGS. 12 to 14 exemplify cases of high value abnormality in which the measurement value V 1 A is higher than an upper limit value UL 1 of the normal range
- FIGS. 15 to 17 illustrate cases of low value abnormality in which the measurement value V 1 A is lower than a lower limit value LL 1 of the normal range.
- Information 75 of the normal range (hereinafter, referred to as range information 75 ; refer to FIG. 19 ), such as the upper limit value UL 1 and the lower limit value LL 1 , is stored in the storage device 40 B.
- FIGS. 15 to 17 exemplify cases where both the measurement values V 1 A and V 1 B are in the abnormal range and the measurement value V 1 B is farther away from the normal range than the measurement value V 1 A. Therefore, the derivation unit 62 determines that the measurement value has not improved by the execution of action.
- FIG. 18 in a case where the measurement value V 1 B is still in the abnormal range but is closer to the normal range than the measurement value V 1 A, it can be said that the measurement value has improved compares with the cases shown in FIGS. 15 to 17 . Therefore, in the case shown in FIG. 18 , as in the cases shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 , it is determined that the measurement value has improved by the execution of the action AC 1 , and the number of examinees showing improvements in the corresponding field of the statistical table 70 is incremented.
- a statistical hypothesis test represented by a t-test or the like may be used as a method of deriving the improvement action. Specifically, the integrated information 26 of all examinees is divided into a group of examinees who have performed certain actions and a group of examinees who have not performed certain actions. Then, it is determined whether there is a significant difference in the transition of the measurement value of a certain measurement item between the two groups. More specifically, it is determined whether the measurement value has changed by the execution of a certain action or has changed regardless of the certain action.
- the derivation unit 62 derives the action as an improvement action of the measurement item.
- the derivation unit 62 does not derive the action as an improvement action of the measurement item.
- the derivation unit 62 does not derive the action as an improvement action of the measurement item.
- a likelihood ratio indicating how much the measurement value of a certain measurement item improves may be calculated, and an improvement action may be derived based on the likelihood ratio.
- the likelihood ratio is an index indicating the likelihood that a certain action can be said to be an improvement action of a certain measurement item.
- the derivation unit 62 counts the number A 1 of examinees for whom a measurement value of a certain measurement item has improved in a case where a certain action is performed, the number A 2 of examinees for whom a measurement value of a certain measurement item has improved in a case where a certain action is not performed, the number B 1 of examinees for whom a measurement value of a certain measurement item has not improved in a case where a certain action is performed, and the number B 2 of examinees for whom a measurement value of a certain measurement item has not improved in a case where a certain action is not performed.
- a likelihood ratio LR is calculated by the following Equation (1).
- the likelihood ratio LR indicates that, as the value increases, a probability that the measurement value of a certain measurement item will improve in a case where a certain action is performed increases. In a case where the likelihood ratio LR is equal to or larger than a threshold value set in advance, the derivation unit 62 derives the action as an improvement action of the measurement item.
- various methods may be adopted for deriving the improvement action. That is, various methods can be applied for determining whether or not there is a significant improvement in the measurement value.
- any method there is no difference in statistically analyzing the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action. It is only important to determine whether or not each action has a significant effect for each measurement item and to explicitly display the result of the determination.
- the determination regarding whether or not there is a significant improvement in the measurement value also depends on a population for statistically analyzing the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action. Therefore, as a population, examinees who have some meaning are appropriately selected. For example, in a case where gene analysis is used, examinees having similar genes may be selected as a population. Alternatively, examinees having various attributes, such as sex and age, may be simply selected as a population.
- the extraction unit 65 determines a measurement value in the abnormal range, among measurement values of each measurement item of the latest medical checkup information 21 of the target examinee from the storage search unit 61 , based on the range information 75 . Then, the measurement item of the measurement value determined to be in the abnormal range is selected as an abnormal item.

- the action history 23 of the target examinee may be displayed so as to be superimposed on a line graph showing the transition of the measurement value of the abnormal item.
- the target examinee himself or herself can derive an improvement action suitable for himself or herself. For this reason, for example, in a case where it is determined that the nutritional supplement purchased due to the advertisement banner 92 does not contribute to improving the measurement value, it is possible to select an improvement action to be performed without being swept away by advertisements, such as stopping the purchase of the nutritional supplement.
- the whole body photographs of the target examinee may be registered in the attribute information 30 , and the whole body photographs before and after the improvement action may be displayed in a comparable manner.
- the scales of the whole body photographs before and after the improvement action are matched with each other by image processing or the like based on the distance between the eyes or the like.

- the method of utilizing the pieces of information may be left to the health service company 16 .
- the action history 23 may be provided to the health service company 16 .
- the action history 23 of the health service company 16 belonging to a different industry cannot be understood as it is by the health service company 16 at the destination. For this reason, it is preferable to convert the action history 23 of the health service company 16 belonging to a different industry into text information so that the content can be understood even at the destination.
- the action history 23 may be directly input by the examinee through the client terminal 11 A.

More specifically, the standardization processing unit 205 calculates the average value V(p) and the standard deviation V( ⁇ ) of the measurement values V of examinees, which are measured in the same period of one year, for each measurement item.
- the same period is a period in which no significant change occurs in the measurement value V due to the seasonal variation. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the same period is the same day of the same week in the same month.
- the standardization processing unit 205 calculates the standardized measurement value V(Z) as expressed by the following Equation (2).

Then, according to the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z), the standardized measurement value V(Z) is set as the normalized measurement value V(N).
- the normalization processing unit 206 sets the upper limit value UL and the lower limit value LL of each measurement item as a standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and a standardized lower limit value LL(Z) as shown in the following Equations (3) and (4).
- the normalization processing unit 206 standardizes only the set limit value.
- the normalized measurement value V(N) is calculated by dividing the value, which is obtained by subtracting the intermediate value the from standardized measurement value V(Z), by the value obtained by subtracting the intermediate value from the standardized upper limit value UL(Z). That is, in a case where the intermediate value between the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) is IV, the normalized measurement value V(N) is calculated by the following Equation (5).
- V ( N ) ⁇ V ( Z ) ⁇ IV ⁇ / ⁇ UL ( Z ) ⁇ IV ⁇ (5)
- the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) is 20 and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) is ⁇ 10.

- Equation (6) is an Equation having the standardized measurement value VT(Z)i of the target examinee and the standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of the candidate for a similar examinee as parameters.
- i is a number assigned for convenience to each measurement item, and corresponds to the number of measurement items.
- the similarity S is a square root of the sum of the squares of differences (VT(Z)i ⁇ VC(Z)i) between the standardized measurement value VT(Z)i of the target examinee and the standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of the candidate for a similar examinee. That is, the similarity S is a distance between a multidimensional vector having the standardized measurement value VT(Z)i of the target examinee as an element and a multidimensional vector having the standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of the candidate for a similar examinee as an element. Therefore, as the similarity between the target examinee and the candidate for a similar examinee increases, the value of the similarity S decreases since the distance between the two multidimensional vectors decreases.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C § 119(a) to Japanese Patent Application No. 2017-243672 filed on 20 Dec. 2017. The above application is hereby expressly incorporated by reference, in its entirety, into the present application.
- The present invention relates to a medical checkup result output apparatus, an operation method thereof, and a non-transitory computer readable medium.
- Medical checkups for early detection and early treatment of lifestyle-related diseases, such as specific medical checkups for prevention and improvement of metabolic syndrome, are widely being performed. Medical checkups include physical measurement, blood pressure measurement, blood test, urine test, and the like, and the measurement items are diverse. Measurement items of physical measurement include height, weight, body mass index (BMI), abdominal girth, and the like. Measurement items of blood test include neutral fat, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (so-called good cholesterol), low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (so-called bad cholesterol), fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin (Hb) A1c, and the like.
- There is a measurement value for each of the plurality of measurement items described above. Depending on whether the measurement value is in a normal range set in advance or in an abnormal range, it is determined whether the health condition of an examinee who has received the medical checkup is good or bad. Results of medical checkups, such as measurement values or health condition determination results, are reported to the examinees through paper medium or the internet.
- For examinees who have a high risk of developing lifestyle-related diseases in the current state because the measurement values are in the abnormal range, health instructors, such as public health nurses or administrative nutritionists may provide health guidance. Health guidance provides support for examinees to take some actions, such as correctly understanding their health condition, exercising, and reducing the amount of meal, and to continue their actions.
- A medical checkup result output apparatus disclosed in JP2015-087876A stores measurement values and the presence or absence of health guidance (presence or absence of action, that is, action history) in a storage unit so as to be associated with each examinee. Then, a similar examinee who is an examinee having measurement values and the like similar to those of a target examinee, who is an examinee whose medical checkup result is to be output, is searched for, and a line graph showing the transition of each measurement value of the searched similar examinee is displayed. The measurement value for generating a line graph is a measurement value of a similar examinee and a measurement value of a measurement item designated by the user of a medical checkup result output apparatus, such as a target examinee.
- FIG. 10 in JP2015-087876A shows parallel display of line graphs showing the transition of the average value of measurement values for a group of similar examinees, for whom health guidance has been performed (who have taken action), and a group of similar examinees, for whom health guidance has not been performed (who have taken no action). FIG. 10 exemplifies a case where the user designates weight as a measurement item. In addition, line graphs are displayed in which the weight increases year by year in the group of similar examinees who have taken no action while the increase in weight is suppressed and decreased in the group of similar examinees who have taken action.
- FIG. 10 in JP2015-087876A exemplifies a case in which a weight, which is a measurement item for which the effect of action noticeably appears in the transition of the measurement value, is designated. As described above, in a case where a measurement item for which the effect of action noticeably appears in the transition of the measurement value is designated, it is possible to raise the motivation for the action of the target examinee (motivation for the target examinee to take action or motivation for the target examinee to continue the action). As a result, the effect of health guidance is improved.
- In general, however, there is also a survey result that, for example, LDL cholesterol or the like is hardly reduced even in a case where actions for improvement are performed. In a case where a measurement item showing little improvement even in a case where such actions are performed is designated, line graphs with little change between a case where actions have been performed and a case where no action has been performed are displayed. For this reason, the target examinee thinks that it is better not to take action unless there is no change regardless of whether the target examinee takes action or takes no action. This lowers the motivation for the action of the target examinee.
- Even in a case where both a measurement item, for which the effect of action noticeably appears in the transition of the measurement value, and a measurement item, for which there is little improvement even in a case where actions are performed, are designated, there is a possibility that the motivation for the action of the target examinee will be similarly lowered. This is because the target examinees who continue their unfamiliar days routinely are unconsciously looking for reasons to take no action. For this reason, in a case where the line graph of a measurement item for which the effect of action noticeably appears and the line graph of a measurement item for which there is little improvement even in a case where actions are performed are displayed without distinction, there is a possibility that the eyes of the target examinee will be directed to the line graph of the measurement item for which there is little improvement even in a case where actions are performed.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a medical checkup result output apparatus, an operation method thereof, and a non-transitory computer readable medium capable of raising the motivation for the action of a target examinee, who is an examinee whose medical checkup result is to be output, with high probability.
- In order to achieve the aforementioned object, a medical checkup result output apparatus of the invention comprises: an acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of measurement values corresponding to a plurality of measurement items relevant to a medical checkup and an action history that is a history of actions of an examinee of the medical checkup; a derivation unit that statistically analyzes a causal relationship between a transition of the measurement value and the action and derives an improvement action that is the action performed in a case where a significant improvement is observed in the measurement value; an extraction unit that extracts the improvement action corresponding to an abnormal item, which is the measurement item of the measurement value in an abnormal range, among the measurement values of a target examinee who is the examinee whose medical checkup result is to be output; and an output control unit that controls an output of the medical checkup result and that outputs an improvement proposal configured to include the abnormal item and the improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item, as the medical checkup result, so as to take precedence over others and/or be distinguishable from others.
- It is preferable to further comprise a search unit that searches for a similar examinee who is the examinee similar to the target examinee. It is preferable that the derivation unit uses the similar examinee as a population for statistically analyzing the causal relationship.
- It is preferable that the search unit searches for, as the similar examinee, the examinee having the measurement value similar to the target examinee and/or the examinee having the same attributes as the target examinee. It is preferable that the attributes include sex and age.
- It is preferable that, in a case where there are a plurality of the abnormal items and there are the abnormal item for which the improvement action is extracted by the extraction unit and a non-extraction item that is the abnormal item for which the improvement action is not extracted by the extraction unit, the output control unit outputs only the improvement proposal and does not output the non-extraction item.
- It is preferable that, in a case where there are a plurality of the abnormal items and there are the abnormal item for which the improvement action is extracted by the extraction unit and a non-extraction item that is the abnormal item for which the improvement action is not extracted by the extraction unit, the output control unit displays the improvement proposal and the non-extraction item collectively in the same display region so as to be distinguishable from each other. In this case, it is preferable that the output control unit displays the improvement proposal above the non-extraction item in the display region and displays a boundary line separating the improvement proposal and the non-extraction item from each other.
- It is preferable that, in a case where there are a plurality of the abnormal items and there are the abnormal item for which the improvement action is extracted by the extraction unit and a non-extraction item that is the abnormal item for which the improvement action is not extracted by the extraction unit, the output control unit outputs the non-extraction item to a display region different from the improvement proposal.
- It is preferable that, in a case where there are a plurality of the improvement proposals, the output control unit displays the improvement proposals in ascending order of improvement required period taken for the measurement value of the abnormal item to fall within the normal range from the abnormal range.
- It is preferable that the derivation unit derives the improvement action for both a case of a high value abnormality, in which the measurement value is higher than an upper limit value of a normal range, and a case of a low value abnormality, in which the measurement value is lower than a lower limit value of the normal range.
- It is preferable to further comprise an answer receiving unit that receives an answer to a question to determine whether or not the improvement action matches a type of the target examinee. It is preferable that, in a case where a plurality of the improvement actions corresponding to the one abnormal item are extracted by the extraction unit, the output control unit outputs the improvement action corresponding to the answer received by the answer receiving unit, among the plurality of improvement actions, as the improvement proposal.
- It is preferable to further comprise a designation receiving unit that receives a designation of the measurement item. It is preferable that the extraction unit extracts the improvement action corresponding to a designated item, which is the measurement item received by the designation receiving unit, in addition to the improvement proposal and that the output control unit outputs the designated item and the improvement action corresponding to the designated item as the medical checkup result.
- It is preferable that the derivation unit also derives a non-improvement action, which is the action performed in a case where there is no significant improvement in the measurement value, the extraction unit also extracts the non-improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item, and the output control unit also outputs the non-improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item as the medical checkup result.
- It is preferable that the output control unit outputs a level of a health condition of the target examinee, which is determined based on the measurement value, as the medical checkup result.
- It is preferable that the output control unit outputs a numerical value relevant to the examinee having the same attributes as the target examinee in addition to the level of the target examinee.
- It is preferable that the output control unit outputs, as the medical checkup result, a health condition display map having a first axis on which a plurality of levels of a health condition of the target examinee determined based on the measurement value are arranged, a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis and on which a plurality of categories for determining the health condition are arranged, and marks that are displayed at intersections between the levels and the categories and express a magnitude of the number of examinees having the same level as the target examinee and the same attributes as the target examinee.
- It is preferable that the health condition display map includes a first map, in which all of the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee are a population, and a second map, in which a population is limited to examinees who have performed the action among the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee, and that the output control unit outputs the first map and the second map such that display of the first map and display of the second map are switchable. It is preferable that the attributes include sex and age.
- An operation method of a medical checkup result output apparatus of the invention comprises: an acquisition step of acquiring a plurality of measurement values corresponding to a plurality of measurement items relevant to a medical checkup and an action history that is a history of actions of an examinee of the medical checkup; a derivation step of statistically analyzing a causal relationship between a transition of the measurement value and the action and deriving an improvement action that is the action performed in a case where a significant improvement is observed in the measurement value; an extraction step of extracting the improvement action corresponding to an abnormal item, which is the measurement item of the measurement value in an abnormal range, among the measurement values of a target examinee who is the examinee whose medical checkup result is to be output; and an output control step of controlling an output of the medical checkup result and of outputting an improvement proposal configured to include the abnormal item and the improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item, as the medical checkup result, so as to take precedence over others and/or be distinguishable from others.
- A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing a computer-executable program for execution of medical checkup result output of the invention causes a computer to execute: an acquisition function of acquiring a plurality of measurement values corresponding to a plurality of measurement items relevant to a medical checkup and an action history that is a history of actions of an examinee of the medical checkup; a derivation function of statistically analyzing a causal relationship between a transition of the measurement value and the action and deriving an improvement action that is the action performed in a case where a significant improvement is observed in the measurement value; an extraction function of extracting the improvement action corresponding to an abnormal item, which is the measurement item of the measurement value in an abnormal range, among the measurement values of a target examinee who is the examinee whose medical checkup result is to be output; and an output control function of controlling an output of the medical checkup result and of outputting an improvement proposal configured to include the abnormal item and the improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item, as the medical checkup result, so as to take precedence over others and/or be distinguishable from others.
- In the invention, since the improvement proposal configured to include the abnormal item, which is a measurement item having a measurement value in the abnormal range, and the improvement action, which is an action corresponding to the abnormal item and performed in a case where there is a significant improvement in the measurement value, is output so as to take precedence over others and/or be distinguishable from others, it is possible to provide a medical checkup result output apparatus, an operation method thereof, and a non-transitory computer readable medium capable of raising the motivation for the action of the target examinee with high probability.

FIG. 61 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the processing of the medical checkup result output server of the second invention. - In
FIG. 1 , ahealth care system 10 comprisesclient terminals result output server 12 corresponding to a medical checkup result output apparatus, and the like. Theclient terminals 11A to 11C and the medical checkupresult output server 12 are communicably connected to each other through anetwork 13. Thenetwork 13 is, for example, the Internet or a wide area network (WAN), such as a public communication network. - The
client terminal 11A is installed at ahome 14 of an examinee of a medical checkup, and is operated by the examinee. Theclient terminal 11B is installed in amedical checkup facility 15 that is a facility where a medical checkup is performed, and is operated by a staff of themedical checkup facility 15. Themedical checkup facility 15 is a medical facility, a local health center, or the like, and the staff of themedical checkup facility 15 is a doctor, a public health nurse, or the like. Theclient terminal 11C is installed in ahealth service company 16 that is a company that provides various health services, and is operated by a staff of thehealth service company 16. Thehealth service company 16 is a fitness center, a food delivery service company, a menu offering site management company, or the like, and the staff of thehealth service company 16 is an instructor, an administrative nutritionist, or the like. Hereinafter, theclient terminals 11A to 11C are collectively referred to as aclient terminal 11 in a case where there is no particular need to distinguish between theclient terminals 11A to 11C. In addition, theclient terminal 11 is not limited to being fixedly used at thehome 14 or the like. For example, theclient terminal 11 may be a portable one, such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. - A medical
checkup information server 17 is provided in themedical checkup facility 15, and anaction history server 18 is provided in thehealth service company 16. Each of theservers 17 and 18 (hereinafter, collectively referred to as a server group 19) is connected to thenetwork 13. The medicalcheckup information server 17 has a medical checkup information database (hereinafter, referred to as database (DB)) 20, andmedical checkup information 21 is stored in the medicalcheckup information DB 20. Theaction history server 18 has anaction history DB 22, andaction history 23 that is the history of the action of the examinee is stored in theaction history DB 22. - The medical checkup
result output server 12 is installed in adata center 24. The medical checkupresult output server 12 has an integratedinformation DB 25, andintegrated information 26 obtained by integrating themedical checkup information 21 and theaction history 23 is stored in theintegrated information DB 25. InFIG. 1 , only onehome 14, onemedical checkup facility 15, and onehealth service company 16 are drawn. In practice, however, a plurality ofhomes 14, a plurality ofmedical checkup facilities 15, and a plurality ofhealth service companies 16 are present. - Each of the
client terminal 11, the medical checkupresult output server 12, and theserver group 19 is configured by installing a control program, such as an operating system, and various application programs on a computer as a base, such as a personal computer, a server computer, or a workstation. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , themedical checkup information 21 of the medicalcheckup information DB 20 is managed in units of an examinee so as to be associated with examinee identification data (ID) that is a symbol and a number for identifying each examinee. The examinee ID is used commonly in themedical checkup facility 15 and thehealth service company 16, and is, for example, the my number of the examinee. On the other hand, an examinee ID issued by either themedical checkup facility 15 or thehealth service company 16 may be used. - In the
medical checkup information 21, a plurality of measurement values corresponding to a plurality of measurement items relevant to a medical checkup are recorded for each medical checkup day. Measurement items are organized for various medical examinations, such as physical measurement, blood pressure measurement, blood test, and urine test. For example, in the case of physical measurement, measurement items include height, weight, BMI, abdominal girth, and the like. In the case of blood test, measurement items include total cholesterol (T-chol (cholesterol)), HDL cholesterol (HDL-chol), LDL cholesterol (LDL-chol), neutral fat, fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and the like. - In the case of general companies and the like, medical checkup is performed in the same period of one year. Also in
FIG. 2 , the medical checkup day is Monday of the second week in April every year. Therefore, it can be said that each measurement value was measured in the same period of one year. - The information associated with the examinee ID and managed in units of an examinee includes
attribute information 30 in addition to themedical checkup information 21. As shown inFIG. 3 , attributes of the examinee are recorded in theattribute information 30, and theattribute information 30 has respective fields of sex, age, date of birth, address, occupation, body type, drinking, and smoking. As the body type, there is a thin type in addition to an ordinary type and an obese type shown in the diagram. In the fields of drinking and smoking, the presence or absence of preference (amount and frequency in a case where there is a preference) is recorded. In addition to those mentioned above, the attributes may include anamnesis, allergy information, genetic information, and the like. - In
FIGS. 4 and 5 , similarly to themedical checkup information 21 and theattribute information 30, theaction history 23 of theaction history DB 22 is managed in units of an examinee so as to be associated with the examinee ID. The execution date and the content of the action are recorded in theaction history 23. - The
action history 23 shown inFIG. 4 is a case where thehealth service company 16 is a fitness center. For this reason, the content of exercise taken by the examinee in the fitness center, such as “aerobic exercise 30 minutes (treadmill)”, is recorded in the content of action. On the other hand, theaction history 23 shown inFIG. 5 is a case where thehealth service company 16 is a food delivery service company. For this reason, the content of a meal that the food delivery service company provided and the examinee ate, such as “protein regulated diet (dinner)”, is recorded in the content of action. In the case of an examinee who has not performed action yet, theaction history 23 is not recorded naturally. - Although not shown, in the
action history 23, in addition to those exemplified inFIGS. 4 and 5 , there is also a history that the examinee purchased a nutritional supplement (also referred to as a supplement). Thehealth service company 16 in this case is a mail-order company of nutritional supplements or the like. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , theintegrated information 26 of theintegrated information DB 25 is obtained by literally integrating themedical checkup information 21 and theattribute information 30 and theaction history 23, and is managed in units of an examinee. For an examinee who has not performed action yet and for whom theaction history 23 is not recorded, such as an examinee having an examinee ID of P003, theintegrated information 26 is only themedical checkup information 21 and theattribute information 30. In the present embodiment, the examinee ID is used commonly in themedical checkup facility 15 and thehealth service company 16. However, in a case where different examinee IDs are separately assigned to themedical checkup facility 15 and thehealth service company 16, the examinee himself or herself performs the task of associating the examinee ID assigned in themedical checkup facility 15 with the examinee ID assigned in thehealth service company 16 so that themedical checkup information 21 and theattribute information 30 and theaction history 23 are integrated. - In
FIG. 7 , the medicalcheckup information server 17 transmits all pieces of themedical checkup information 21 and theattribute information 30, which are stored in the medicalcheckup information DB 20, to the medical checkupresult output server 12. Similarly, theaction history server 18 transmits all pieces of theaction history 23 stored in theaction history DB 22 to the medical checkupresult output server 12. The medical checkupresult output server 12 integrates themedical checkup information 21 and theattribute information 30 and theaction history 23 into theintegrated information 26, and stores theintegrated information 26 in theintegrated information DB 25. - The medical checkup
result output server 12 generates a medical checkup result display screen 35 (also refer toFIGS. 20 and 21 ) for displaying the medical checkup result based on theintegrated information 26. Then, the generated medical checkupresult display screen 35 is transmitted to theclient terminal 11. - The medical checkup
result output server 12 issues an authentication key to theclient terminal 11 and gives an access authority to the medical checkupresult output server 12. The medical checkupresult output server 12 transmits the medical checkupresult display screen 35 only to theclient terminal 11 that has succeeded in authentication. - The medical checkup
result display screen 35 is one form of the output of medical checkup results. The medical checkupresult output server 12 generates the medical checkupresult display screen 35 that can be browsed on the web browser. More specifically, the medical checkupresult output server 12 outputs the medical checkupresult display screen 35 in the form of screen data for web distribution that is created by a markup language, such as Extensible Markup Language (XML). Theclient terminal 11 reproduces and displays the medical checkupresult display screen 35 on the web browser based on the screen data. The same applies to various display screens other than the medical checkupresult display screen 35. Instead of the XML, other data description languages, such as JavaScript (registered trademark) Object Notation (JSON), may be used. - In
FIG. 8 , the basic configurations of computers that form theclient terminal 11 and the medical checkupresult output server 12 are the same, and each computer comprises astorage device 40, amemory 41, a central processing unit (CPU) 42, adisplay 43, aninput device 44, and acommunication unit 45. These are connected to each other through adata bus 46. - The
storage device 40 is a hard disk drive, which is built into a computer that forms theclient terminal 11 or the like or which is connected to the computer through a cable or a network, or a disk array formed by connecting a plurality of hard disk drives. A control program such as an operating system, various application programs, and display data of various display screens associated with these programs are stored in thestorage device 40. - The
memory 41 is a work memory for theCPU 42 to execute processing. TheCPU 42 performs overall control of each unit of the computer by loading a program stored in thestorage device 40 to thememory 41 and executing the processing according to the program. - The
display 43 displays various display screens corresponding to the operation of theinput device 44. The display screen comprises an operation function based on the graphical user interface (GUI). Each computer that forms theclient terminal 11 or the like receives an input of an operation instruction from theinput device 44 through the display screen. Thecommunication unit 45 is a network interface to perform transmission control of various kinds of information through thenetwork 13. - In the following description, for the sake of distinction, a suffix “A” is attached to the reference numeral of each unit of the computer that forms the
client terminal 11, and a suffix “B” is attached to the reference numeral of each unit of the computer that forms the medical checkupresult output server 12. - In
FIG. 9 , in a case where the web browser is started, theCPU 42A of theclient terminal 11 cooperates with thememory 41 or the like to function as aGUI control unit 50 and abrowser control unit 51. - The
GUI control unit 50 displays various display screens on the display 43A, and receives various operation instructions that are input from the input device 44A through the various display screens. Examples of the operation instruction include an instruction to distribute the medical checkupresult display screen 35 to the medical checkupresult output server 12 and an instruction to edit the medical checkupresult display screen 35. TheGUI control unit 50 outputs the received operation instruction to thebrowser control unit 51. - The
browser control unit 51 controls the operation of the web browser. Thebrowser control unit 51 issues a request corresponding to an operation instruction from theGUI control unit 50, specifically, a distribution request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 corresponding to an instruction to distribute the medical checkupresult display screen 35, an editing request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 corresponding to an instruction to edit the medical checkupresult display screen 35, and the like to the medical checkupresult output server 12. - The
browser control unit 51 receives screen data of the various display screens from the medical checkupresult output server 12. Thebrowser control unit 51 reproduces a display screen to be displayed on the web browser based on the screen data, and outputs the display screen to theGUI control unit 50. TheGUI control unit 50 displays the display screen on the display 43A. - In
FIG. 10 , anoperation program 55 is stored in thestorage device 40B of the medical checkupresult output server 12. Theoperation program 55 is an application program for making the computer that forms the medical checkupresult output server 12 function as a medical checkup result output apparatus. A derivation result storage table 56 (refer toFIG. 11 ) is also stored in thestorage device 40B. - In a case where the
operation program 55 is started, theCPU 42B of the medical checkupresult output server 12 cooperates with thememory 41 or the like to function as anacquisition unit 60, astorage search unit 61, aderivation unit 62, a derivationresult management unit 63, areception unit 64, anextraction unit 65, and a screenoutput control unit 66. - The
acquisition unit 60 issues a transmission request of themedical checkup information 21, theattribute information 30, and theaction history 23 to theserver group 19. The transmission request is the content to transmit all pieces of themedical checkup information 21 and theattribute information 30 stored in the medicalcheckup information DB 20 and all pieces of theaction history 23 stored in theaction history DB 22. Theacquisition unit 60 periodically issues a transmission request, for example, every month. - The
acquisition unit 60 acquires themedical checkup information 21, theattribute information 30, and theaction history 23 that are transmitted from theserver group 19 in response to the transmission request. Themedical checkup information 21 includes measurement values. Therefore, theacquisition unit 60 has an acquisition function for acquiring measurement values and theaction history 23. Theacquisition unit 60 outputs the acquiredmedical checkup information 21, attributeinformation 30, andaction history 23 to thestorage search unit 61. - The
storage search unit 61 integrates themedical checkup information 21, theattribute information 30, and theaction history 23 from theacquisition unit 60 into theintegrated information 26, and stores theintegrated information 26 in theintegrated information DB 25. In addition, thestorage search unit 61 reads out all pieces of theintegrated information 26 from theintegrated information DB 25, and outputs theintegrated information 26 to thederivation unit 62. In addition, thestorage search unit 61 reads out theintegrated information 26 of a target examinee, who is an examinee whose medical checkup result is to be output, from theintegrated information DB 25, and outputs theintegrated information 26 to theextraction unit 65 and the screenoutput control unit 66. - The
derivation unit 62 statistically analyzes the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action for all pieces of theintegrated information 26 from thestorage search unit 61, and has a derivation function for deriving the improvement action that is an action performed in a case where the measurement value shows a significant improvement. Thederivation unit 62 outputs the derivation result of the improvement action to the derivationresult management unit 63. - The derivation
result management unit 63 stores the derivation result from thederivation unit 62 in the derivation result storage table 56. The derivationresult management unit 63 outputs the derivation result storage table 56 to theextraction unit 65. - The
reception unit 64 receives various requests from theclient terminal 11. Thereception unit 64 outputs a distribution request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35, among the various requests, to thestorage search unit 61 and the screenoutput control unit 66, and outputs an editing request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 to the screenoutput control unit 66. - The distribution request of the medical checkup
result display screen 35 includes the examinee ID of the target examinee. Thestorage search unit 61 searches for theintegrated information 26 of the examinee ID included in the distribution request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 from thereception unit 64, that is, theintegrated information 26 of the target examinee, from theintegrated information DB 25. Thestorage search unit 61 outputs the searchedintegrated information 26 of the target examinee to theextraction unit 65 and the screenoutput control unit 66. - The
extraction unit 65 has an extraction function for extracting an improvement action corresponding to an abnormal item, which is a measurement item of a measurement value in the abnormal range, among the measurement values of the target examinee included in theintegrated information 26 from thestorage search unit 61. Theextraction unit 65 outputs the improvement action extraction result to the screenoutput control unit 66. - The screen
output control unit 66 controls the output of various display screens including the medical checkupresult display screen 35 as one form of the output of medical checkup results. That is, the screenoutput control unit 66 corresponds to an output control unit that controls the output of medical checkup results, and has an output control function. - A terminal ID for identifying the
client terminal 11 as a request source is assigned to the distribution request and the editing request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35. The screenoutput control unit 66 specifies theclient terminal 11 as a request source based on the terminal ID, and transmits the medical checkupresult display screen 35 to the specifiedclient terminal 11. - In
FIG. 11 , thederivation unit 62 creates a statistical table 70 relevant to each action AC1, AC2, AC3, . . . in advance of the derivation of improvement action. In the statistical table 70, for each of a plurality of measurement item I1, I2, . . . , fields of high value abnormality and low value abnormality are prepared. The high value abnormality is a case where the measurement value is higher than the upper limit value of the normal range. On the other hand, the low value abnormality is a case where the measurement value is lower than the lower limit value of the normal range. Thederivation unit 62 registers the number of examinees whose measurement values in the abnormal range have improved by action, the number of examinees whose measurement values in the abnormal range have not improved by action, and the percentage of examinees whose measurement values in the abnormal range have improved by action, for the two cases of the high value abnormality and the low value abnormality. Thederivation unit 62 derives improvement actions according to the statistical table 70 and the derivation conditions set in advance. -
FIG. 11 exemplifies the statistical table 70 of the action AC1. For example, in a case where the measurement item I1 is a high value abnormality, the percentage of examinees showing improvements is 90%. In a case where the measurement item I2 is a low value abnormality, the percentage of examinees showing improvements is 16%. As the derivation conditions, the percentage of examinees showing improvements is 80% or more. Therefore, in the improvement action in this case, as shown by a derivation result, the action AC1 in a case where the measurement item I1 is a high value abnormality, which is a case where the percentage of examinees showing improvements is 90%, is derived. - Similarly to the statistical table 70, in the derivation result storage table 56, for each of the plurality of measurement items I1, I2, . . . , fields of high value abnormality and low value abnormality are prepared. The derivation
result management unit 63 registers improvement actions for the two cases of the high value abnormality and the low value abnormality. -
FIG. 11 shows an example in which actions AC1, AC2, and AC3 are registered as improvement actions in a case where the measurement item I1 is a high value abnormality and an action AC2 is registered as an improvement action in a case where the measurement item I1 is a low value abnormality. For the measurement item I2, no improvement action is registered for both the high value abnormality and the low value abnormality. Thus, a plurality of improvement actions may be present for one field, or only one improvement action may be present for one field. In addition, no improvement action may be present. - Depending on the measurement item, only one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the normal range may be set, so that the abnormal range is limited to either the high value abnormality or the low value abnormality. For such a measurement item, the fields of the statistical table 70 and the derivation result storage table 56 are naturally one of the high value abnormality and the low value abnormality.
-
FIGS. 12 to 17 are diagrams showing how thederivation unit 62 determines whether or not the measurement value in the abnormal range has improved by action. - As shown in
FIG. 12 , in a case where a measurement value V1A before performing the action AC1 is in the abnormal range and a measurement value V1B after performing the action AC1 is in the normal range, thederivation unit 62 determines that the measurement value has improved by the execution of the action AC1. Then, the number of examinees showing improvements in the corresponding field of the statistical table 70 is incremented. Similarly, also in a case where the measurement value V1A before performing the action AC1 is in the abnormal range and the measurement value V1B obtained within a predetermined period (for example, one week) after the end of the action AC1 is in the normal range as shown inFIG. 13 and a case where the measurement value V1A in the abnormal range while performing the action AC1 becomes the measurement value V1B in the normal range as shown inFIG. 14 , thederivation unit 62 determines that the measurement value has improved, and increments the number of examinees showing improvements in the corresponding field of the statistical table 70. - On the other hand, as shown in
FIG. 15 , in a case where the measurement value V1A before performing the action AC1 is in the abnormal range and the measurement value V1B after performing the action AC1 is still in the abnormal range, thederivation unit 62 determines that the measurement value has not improved by the execution of the action AC1. Then, the number of examinees showing no improvement in the corresponding field of the statistical table 70 is incremented. Similarly, also in a case where the measurement value V1A before performing the action AC1 is in the abnormal range and the measurement value V1B obtained within a predetermined period (for example, one week) after the end of the action AC1 is in the abnormal range as shown inFIG. 16 and a case where both the measurement values V1A and V1B are in the abnormal range even while performing the action AC1 as shown inFIG. 17 , thederivation unit 62 determines that the measurement value has not improved, and increments the number of examinees showing no improvement in the corresponding field of the statistical table 70. - All of
FIGS. 12 to 17 exemplify cases where the measurement item is I1 and the action is AC1.FIGS. 12 to 14 exemplify cases of high value abnormality in which the measurement value V1A is higher than an upper limit value UL1 of the normal range, andFIGS. 15 to 17 illustrate cases of low value abnormality in which the measurement value V1A is lower than a lower limit value LL1 of the normal range.Information 75 of the normal range (hereinafter, referred to asrange information 75; refer toFIG. 19 ), such as the upper limit value UL1 and the lower limit value LL1, is stored in thestorage device 40B. -
FIGS. 15 to 17 exemplify cases where both the measurement values V1A and V1B are in the abnormal range and the measurement value V1B is farther away from the normal range than the measurement value V1A. Therefore, thederivation unit 62 determines that the measurement value has not improved by the execution of action. On the other hand, as shown inFIG. 18 , in a case where the measurement value V1B is still in the abnormal range but is closer to the normal range than the measurement value V1A, it can be said that the measurement value has improved compares with the cases shown inFIGS. 15 to 17 . Therefore, in the case shown inFIG. 18 , as in the cases shown inFIGS. 12 to 14 , it is determined that the measurement value has improved by the execution of the action AC1, and the number of examinees showing improvements in the corresponding field of the statistical table 70 is incremented. - As a method of deriving the improvement action, a statistical hypothesis test represented by a t-test or the like may be used. Specifically, the
integrated information 26 of all examinees is divided into a group of examinees who have performed certain actions and a group of examinees who have not performed certain actions. Then, it is determined whether there is a significant difference in the transition of the measurement value of a certain measurement item between the two groups. More specifically, it is determined whether the measurement value has changed by the execution of a certain action or has changed regardless of the certain action. - In a case where it is determined that there is a significant difference in the transition of the measurement value of a certain measurement item between the two groups, that is, in a case where it is determined that the measurement value has changed by the execution of a certain action and the measurement value of the group of examinees who have performed the certain action has improved, the
derivation unit 62 derives the action as an improvement action of the measurement item. On the other hand, even in a case where it is determined that there is a significant difference in the transition of the measurement value of a certain measurement item between the two groups, unless there is an improvement in the measurement value of the group of examinees who have performed the certain action, thederivation unit 62 does not derive the action as an improvement action of the measurement item. Similarly in a case where it is determined that there is no significant difference in the transition of the measurement value of a certain measurement item between the two groups, that is, in a case where it is determined that the measurement value has changed regardless of the certain action, thederivation unit 62 does not derive the action as an improvement action of the measurement item. - In a case where a certain action is performed, a likelihood ratio indicating how much the measurement value of a certain measurement item improves may be calculated, and an improvement action may be derived based on the likelihood ratio. In other words, the likelihood ratio is an index indicating the likelihood that a certain action can be said to be an improvement action of a certain measurement item.
- In this case, the
derivation unit 62 counts the number A1 of examinees for whom a measurement value of a certain measurement item has improved in a case where a certain action is performed, the number A2 of examinees for whom a measurement value of a certain measurement item has improved in a case where a certain action is not performed, the number B1 of examinees for whom a measurement value of a certain measurement item has not improved in a case where a certain action is performed, and the number B2 of examinees for whom a measurement value of a certain measurement item has not improved in a case where a certain action is not performed. Then, a likelihood ratio LR is calculated by the following Equation (1). -
LR={A1/(A1+A2)}/{B1/(B1+B2)} (1) - The likelihood ratio LR indicates that, as the value increases, a probability that the measurement value of a certain measurement item will improve in a case where a certain action is performed increases. In a case where the likelihood ratio LR is equal to or larger than a threshold value set in advance, the
derivation unit 62 derives the action as an improvement action of the measurement item. - As described above, various methods may be adopted for deriving the improvement action. That is, various methods can be applied for determining whether or not there is a significant improvement in the measurement value. However, in any method, there is no difference in statistically analyzing the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action. It is only important to determine whether or not each action has a significant effect for each measurement item and to explicitly display the result of the determination. The determination regarding whether or not there is a significant improvement in the measurement value also depends on a population for statistically analyzing the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action. Therefore, as a population, examinees who have some meaning are appropriately selected. For example, in a case where gene analysis is used, examinees having similar genes may be selected as a population. Alternatively, examinees having various attributes, such as sex and age, may be simply selected as a population.
- In
FIG. 19 , theextraction unit 65 determines a measurement value in the abnormal range, among measurement values of each measurement item of the latestmedical checkup information 21 of the target examinee from thestorage search unit 61, based on therange information 75. Then, the measurement item of the measurement value determined to be in the abnormal range is selected as an abnormal item. Then, theextraction unit 65 extracts an improvement action corresponding to the selected abnormal item with reference to the derivation result storage table 56 from the derivationresult management unit 63. -
FIG. 19 exemplifies a case where the measurement item I1 (high value abnormality) and the measurement item I2 (low value abnormality) are selected as abnormal items. In addition,FIG. 19 shows that the actions AC1, AC2, and AC3 are extracted as improvement actions of the measurement item I1 (high value abnormality) and no improvement action of the measurement item I2 (low value abnormality) is extracted. That is, in the example shown inFIG. 19 , the measurement item I1 (high value abnormality) is an abnormal item for which an improvement action is extracted by theextraction unit 65, and the measurement item I2 (low value abnormality) is an abnormal item for which no improvement action is extracted by theextraction unit 65, that is, a non-extraction item. - In
FIGS. 20 and 21 , the medical checkupresult display screen 35 comprises twotabs tabs cursor 81. The screenoutput control unit 66 switches the display content of the medical checkup result according to the selection state of thetabs tab 80A is selected as shown inFIG. 20 , the screenoutput control unit 66 displays alist 82 or the like. On the other hand, in a case where thetab 80B is selected as shown inFIG. 21 , the screenoutput control unit 66 displays an improvementproposal display region 90 or the like. InFIGS. 20 and 21 , the selected one of thetabs - Selecting the
tabs cursor 81 corresponds to the instruction to edit the medical checkupresult display screen 35. The editing request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 that is issued in this case is the content to switch the display state of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 from the state ofFIG. 20 to the state ofFIG. 21 or vice versa. - In
FIG. 20 , thelist 82 is a summary of measurement values of each measurement item of the target patient, and is a kind of medical checkup result. Each measurement item in thelist 82 is divided for each medical examination, such as physical measurement and blood pressure measurement, and each category for determining the health condition, such as lipid metabolism, sugar metabolism, and liver function. In thelist 82, upper and lower limit values of each measurement item, measurement values at the last medical checkup, and measurement values in the current medical checkup are displayed. Avertical scroll bar 83 for scroll-displaying measurement items and measurement values that cannot be displayed at a time is provided next to thelist 82. - A high value
abnormality display mark 84A obtained by surrounding “H” with a square is displayed for the measurement value of the high value abnormality, among the measurement values of thelist 82, and a low valueabnormality display mark 84B obtained by surrounding “L” with a square is displayed for the measurement value of the low value abnormality. Due to themarks FIG. 20 exemplifies a case where the measurement values of three measurement items of LDL cholesterol, neutral fat, and HbA1c are high value abnormalities in the current medical checkup. - In addition to the
list 82, an examineeinformation display region 85, a medical checkup basicinformation display region 86, and acomment display region 87 are provided on the medical checkupresult display screen 35. In the examineeinformation display region 85, the examinee ID, name, date of birth, age, and sex of the target examinee are displayed. In the medical checkup basicinformation display region 86, the name of themedical checkup facility 15 where the medical checkup has been performed, medical checkup date, and the course of medical checkup are displayed. In thecomment display region 87, a comment on the measurement value of the current medical checkup is displayed. - In
FIG. 21 , animprovement proposal 91 configured to include an abnormal item and an improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item is displayed in the improvementproposal display region 90. More specifically, theimprovement proposal 91 is a sentence obtained by combining an abnormal item, improvement action, and the percentage of examinees showing improvements. For example, in a case where the abnormal item is “neutral fat”, the improvement action is “aerobic exercise of two days or more per week and 30 minutes or more each time”, and the percentage of examinees showing improvements is “90%”, theimprovement proposal 91 is a sentence “in the case of neutral fat that is your abnormal item, 90% has improved to the normal range by continuing aerobic exercise of two days or more per week and 30 minutes or more each time”. - In addition to the improvement
proposal display region 90, an advertisementbanner display region 93 for displaying anadvertisement banner 92 of thehealth service company 16 is provided on the medical checkupresult display screen 35. Theadvertisement banner 92 can be selected by thecursor 81. In a case where theadvertisement banner 92 is selected by thecursor 81, a screen of the website of thehealth service company 16 is displayed on the web browser apart from the medical checkupresult display screen 35. - Display data and display conditions of the
advertisement banner 92 are provided from thehealth service company 16, and are stored in thestorage device 40B. The display conditions include, for example, an abnormal item and the age and sex of the target examinee. The screenoutput control unit 66 selectively displays theadvertisement banner 92 corresponding to the display conditions in the advertisementbanner display region 93.FIG. 21 shows that an abnormal item is included in the display conditions and theadvertisement banner 92 relevant to the abnormal item is selected by the screenoutput control unit 66 and displayed in the advertisementbanner display region 93. -
FIG. 22 shows details of the processing of theextraction unit 65 and the screenoutput control unit 66 at the time of generating the medical checkupresult display screen 35 shown inFIG. 21 . In this case, theextraction unit 65 selects three measurement items of LDL cholesterol, neutral fat, and HbA1c (in any case, high value abnormality) as abnormal items. - Here, no improvement action is registered for LDL cholesterol (high value abnormality) of the derivation result storage table 56, “aerobic exercise of two days or more per week and 30 minutes or more each time” is registered as improvement action for neutral fat (high value abnormality), and “carbohydrate restricted diet (lunch, dinner)” is registered as improvement action for HbA1c (high value abnormality). Therefore, the extraction result is that the improvement action for LDL cholesterol (high value abnormality) is “none”, the improvement action for neutral fat (high value abnormality) is “aerobic exercise of two days or more per week and 30 minutes or more each time”, and the improvement action for HbA1c (high value abnormality) is “carbohydrate restricted diet (lunch, dinner)”.
- The situation shown in
FIG. 22 corresponds to a case where there are a plurality of abnormal items and there are an abnormal item, for which an improvement action is extracted by theextraction unit 65, and a non-extraction item, which is an abnormal item for which no improvement action is extracted by theextraction unit 65. The abnormal items for which improvement actions are extracted by theextraction unit 65 are neutral fat (high value abnormality) and HbA1c (high value abnormality). The non-extraction item is LDL cholesterol (high value abnormality). - In this case, as a form of outputting the
improvement proposal 91 so as to take precedence over others and/or be distinguishable from others, the screenoutput control unit 66 outputs only theimprovement proposal 91 and does not output a non-extraction item. That is, in the example shown inFIG. 22 , only theimprovement proposal 91 for neutral fat (high value abnormality) and HbA1c (high value abnormality) is output, and an improvement proposal for LDL cholesterol (high value abnormality) is not output. In this manner, theimprovement proposal 91 is preferentially output over non-extraction items. - In a case where no improvement action is extracted by the
extraction unit 65 for all the abnormal items, that is, in a case where all the abnormal items are non-extraction items, nothing is displayed in the improvementproposal display region 90. In this case, therefore, the screenoutput control unit 66 makes thetab 80B unselectable or does not display thetab 80B itself. The same is true even in a case where there is no abnormal item itself. - Hereinafter, the operation based on the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in
FIGS. 23 and 24 . First, inFIG. 23 , in a case where the issuance timing of the transmission request of themedical checkup information 21, theattribute information 30, and theaction history 23 is reached (YES in step ST100), the transmission request is issued from theacquisition unit 60 to the server group 19 (step ST101). Themedical checkup information 21, theattribute information 30, and theaction history 23 transmitted from theserver group 19 in response to the transmission request are acquired by the acquisition unit 60 (step ST102, acquisition step). - The
medical checkup information 21, theattribute information 30, and theaction history 23 are output from theacquisition unit 60 to thestorage search unit 61. Then, themedical checkup information 21, theattribute information 30, and theaction history 23 becomes theintegrated information 26 by thestorage search unit 61, and theintegrated information 26 is stored in the integrated information DB 25 (step ST103). - The
integrated information 26 of theintegrated information DB 25 is output from thestorage search unit 61 to thederivation unit 62. As shown inFIG. 11 , thederivation unit 62 statistically analyzes theintegrated information 26, and derives an improvement action for both a case where the measurement value is a high value abnormality and a case where the measurement value is a low value abnormality (step ST 104, derivation step). The derivation result of the improvement action is output from thederivation unit 62 to the derivationresult management unit 63, and is stored in the derivation result storage table 56 by the derivation result management unit 63 (step ST105). These series of steps ST101 to ST105 are repeated at the issuance timing of the transmission request that is periodically made. - The
derivation unit 62 derives an improvement action for both a case where the measurement value is a high value abnormality and a case where the measurement value is a low value abnormality. Therefore, it is possible to output theimprovement proposal 91 more suitable for the health condition of the target examinee. - A user, such as an examinee, a staff of the
medical checkup facility 15, and a staff of thehealth service company 16, accesses the medical checkupresult output server 12 through theclient terminal 11 to perform authentication. After the authentication, an input screen of the examinee ID is displayed on the web browser of the display 43A of theclient terminal 11. On the input screen of the examinee ID, for example, an input box for the examinee ID and a transmission button for giving an instruction to distribute the medical checkupresult display screen 35 are prepared. In a case where the examinee ID of the target examinee is input to the input box and the transmission button is selected, the distribution request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 including the examinee ID of the target examinee and the like is issued from thebrowser control unit 51 of theclient terminal 11 to thereception unit 64 of the medical checkupresult output server 12. - In
FIG. 24 , in a case where the distribution request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 is received by the reception unit 64 (YES in step ST110), theintegrated information 26 of the target examinee is first searched for from theintegrated information DB 25 by the storage search unit 61 (step ST111). Then, as shown inFIG. 19 , an abnormal item is selected from the measurement items of themedical checkup information 21 of the target examinee by the extraction unit 65 (step ST112). In a case where an abnormal item is selected (YES in step ST113), theextraction unit 65 further extracts an improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item (step ST114, extraction step). - The screen
output control unit 66 generates the medical checkupresult display screen 35 based on theintegrated information 26 of the target examinee or the extraction result of theextraction unit 65. The medical checkupresult display screen 35 is transmitted to theclient terminal 11 as a request source of the distribution request (step ST115, output control step). - In the
client terminal 11 as a request source of the distribution request of the medical checkupresult display screen 35, the medical checkupresult display screen 35 from the medical checkupresult output server 12 is displayed on the display 43A. - In a case where there is an abnormal item and an improvement action corresponding thereto is extracted, the
tab 80B can be selected by thecursor 81. In a case where thetab 80B is selected, only theimprovement proposal 91 is displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 35. In a case where there is a non-extraction item, the non-extraction item is not displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 35. - The non-extraction item is a measurement item for which little improvement is observed even by action. For this reason, in a case where only non-extraction items are output or in a case where non-extraction items and the
improvement proposal 91 are output without particularly distinguishing these, the motivation for the action of the target examinee is lowered. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since theimprovement proposal 91 is preferentially output over the non-extraction item, it is possible to raise the motivation for the action of the target examinee with high probability. - For target examinees who do not receive health guidance, there is no supplementary explanation from the health instructor for non-extraction items or the
improvement proposal 91. For this reason, for the target examinees who do not receive such health guidance, the effect of outputting theimprovement proposal 91 so as to take precedence over others and/or be distinguishable from others is particularly high. - Since non-extraction items are not output, there is no possibility that the motivation for the action of the target examinee will be lowered by the non-extraction items. The
improvement proposal 91 is configured to include an abnormal item and an improvement action corresponding thereto. Therefore, just by observing theimprovement proposal 91, the target examinee can immediately know the action that he or she should take in order to improve the abnormal item. Since specific improvement actions are shown, it is easy for the target examinee to feel like trying to start actions. - As in the present embodiment, in a case where the percentage of examinees showing improvements or the
advertisement banner 92 is displayed, the effect of attraction to the improvement action is further increased. As theadvertisement banner 92, in order to further increase the effect of attraction to the improvement action, it is possible to display an advertisement banner that specifically shows the actual measurement value of the abnormal item. - A medical checkup
result display screen 95 shown inFIG. 25 has a display form different from that shown inFIG. 21 , and is for outputting theimprovement proposal 91 so as to take precedence over others and be distinguishable from others. On the medical checkupresult display screen 95, theimprovement proposal 91 and anon-extraction item 96 are displayed in thesame display region 97 so as to be distinguishable at a time. More specifically, in thedisplay region 97, theimprovement proposal 91 is displayed above thenon-extraction item 96, and aboundary line 98 separating theimprovement proposal 91 and thenon-extraction item 96 from each other is displayed. Thenon-extraction item 96 is a sentence indicating that improvement of the measurement value of the non-extraction item is difficult with self-help efforts and prompting the target examinee to consult the doctor or the health instructor. - By displaying the
improvement proposal 91 above thenon-extraction item 96, theimprovement proposal 91 is preferentially output over thenon-extraction item 96. In addition, by displaying theboundary line 98 separating theimprovement proposal 91 and thenon-extraction item 96 from each other, theimprovement proposal 91 is output so as to be distinguishable from thenon-extraction item 96. With such a display as well, it is possible to raise the motivation for the action of the target examinee with high probability. - As a method of outputting the
improvement proposal 91 so as to take precedence over thenon-extraction item 96 and be distinguishable from thenon-extraction item 96, for example, theimprovement proposal 91 may be displayed in bold letters and a large font size and thenon-extraction item 96 may be displayed in fine letters and a font size smaller than theimprovement proposal 91, or theimprovement proposal 91 may be displayed in bold and red letters and thenon-extraction item 96 may be displayed in fine and black letters. - Each medical checkup
result display screen 100 shown inFIGS. 26 and 27 has another display form different from those shown inFIGS. 21 and 25 , and outputs theimprovement proposal 91 so as to take precedence over others and be distinguishable from others. On the medical checkupresult display screen 100, thenon-extraction item 96 is output in a display region different from theimprovement proposal 91. - More specifically, in the state shown in
FIG. 26 immediately after thetab 80B is selected, only theimprovement proposal 91 is displayed in thedisplay region 101, and thenon-extraction item 96 is not displayed unlike in thedisplay region 97 inFIG. 25 . Instead, alink 102 for displaying thenon-extraction item 96 is displayed in a lower portion of thedisplay region 101. In a case where thelink 102 is selected by thecursor 81, as shown inFIG. 27 , adisplay dialog 105 of thenon-extraction item 96 is pop-up displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 100. Thedisplay dialog 105 corresponds to another display region. Thedisplay dialog 105 disappears by selecting aclose button 106 with thecursor 81. - Before the
link 102 is selected by thecursor 81, by displaying only theimprovement proposal 91, theimprovement proposal 91 is preferentially output over thenon-extraction item 96. In addition, by displaying thenon-extraction item 96 in a display region different from theimprovement proposal 91 in thedisplay dialog 105, theimprovement proposal 91 is output so as to be distinguishable from thenon-extraction item 96. With such a display as well, it is possible to raise the motivation for the action of the target examinee with high probability. - In a case where the
link 102 is selected by thecursor 81, the screen may be shifted to the display form of the medical checkupresult display screen 95 inFIG. 25 from that inFIG. 26 . The user may select the display forms of the medical checkupresult display screen 35 inFIG. 21 , the medical checkupresult display screen 95 inFIG. 25 , and the medical checkupresult display screen 100 inFIGS. 26 and 27 . - In this manner, the
improvement proposal 91 may be output so as to take precedence over others and be distinguishable from others, or may be output so as to take precedence over others or be distinguishable from others. - In an embodiment 1-2 shown in
FIG. 28 , thestorage search unit 61 functions as a search unit, and searches for similar examinees who are examinees similar to the target examinee. Thederivation unit 62 uses similar examinees as a population for statistically analyzing the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action. - In the embodiment 1-1 described above, the
derivation unit 62 statistically analyzes the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action for all pieces of theintegrated information 26 from thestorage search unit 61. That is, the population for statistical analysis is all the examinees except for the target patient. On the other hand, in the present embodiment 1-2, the population for statistical analysis is narrowed down to similar examinees. - In
FIG. 28 , thestorage search unit 61 searches for examinees, who have measurement values similar to the target examinee, and examinees, who have the same attributes as the target examinee, as similar examinees. More specifically, thestorage search unit 61 searches for theintegrated information 26 in theintegrated information DB 25 using the measurement value ±α (α is a preset value) of the target examinee and the attributes of the target examinee as search conditions. Then, an examinee having the integratedinformation 26 satisfying the search conditions is output to thederivation unit 62 as a similar examinee. Thederivation unit 62 statistically analyzes the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action for theintegrated information 26 of the similar examinee from thestorage search unit 61. - The measurement values used as the search conditions are, for example, measurement values in the abnormal range. The attributes used as the search conditions are, for example, sex and age.
FIG. 28 exemplifies a case where the measurement value of the neutral fat of the target examinee is 200 in the abnormal range and the attributes are male and 40's. Measurement values used as the search conditions may be limited to measurement values in the abnormal range, or may be all measurement values regardless of measurement values in the normal range or measurement values in the abnormal range. Measurement values used as the search conditions may be set in advance, or may be set by the user. Similarly, attributes used as the search conditions are not limited to sex and age. The address, occupation, body type, drinking, smoking, anamnesis, allergy information, genetic information, and the like exemplified inFIG. 3 may be used. - As described above, since the
storage search unit 61 searches for similar examinees and thederivation unit 62 uses the searched similar examinees as a population for statistically analyzing the causal relationship between the transition of the measurement value and the action, it is possible to derive the improvement actions of examinees having a similar health condition to the target examinee. - In
FIG. 28 , examinees having measurement values similar to the target examinee and examinees having attributes similar to the target examinee are searched for as similar examinees. However, either examinees having measurement values similar to the target examinee or examinees having attributes similar to the target examinee may be searched for as similar examinees. - In an embodiment 1-3 shown in
FIGS. 29 and 30 , in a case where there are a plurality ofimprovement proposals 91, improvement proposals are displayed in ascending order of improvement required period taken for the measurement value of the abnormal item to fall within the normal range from the abnormal range. Specifically, the improvement required period is an average value of a period from the point in time at which the measurement value V1A in the abnormal range is measured to the point in time at which the measurement value is estimated to be in the normal range by performing the action AC1, which is indicated by T1 inFIG. 29 . -
FIGS. 30A and 30B are diagrams showing how the screenoutput control unit 66 displays improvement proposals in ascending order of improvement required period in a case where there are a plurality ofimprovement proposals 91.FIG. 30A shows threeimprovement proposals 91A to 91C and their improvement required periods. Theimprovement proposal 91A is configured to include an abnormal item I10 and an improvement action AC10, and the improvement required period is six months. Theimprovement proposal 91B is configured to include an abnormal item I11 and an improvement action AC11, and the improvement required period is one month. Theimprovement proposal 91C is configured to include an abnormal item I12 and an improvement action AC12, and the improvement required period is three months. That is, the improvement required period is short in the order of theimprovement proposals - In this case, the screen
output control unit 66 displays theimprovement proposal 91B having the shortest improvement required period in the uppermost portion of the improvementproposal display region 90, as shown on the medical checkupresult display screen 35 inFIG. 30B . Then, theimprovement proposal 91C is displayed, and theimprovement proposal 91A having the longest improvement required period is displayed at the bottom. In addition, the sentence is configured to include the improvement required period in addition to the abnormal item, the improvement action, and the percentage of examinees showing improvements. - As described above, since the
improvement proposal 91 is displayed in ascending order of improvement required period taken for the measurement value of the abnormal item to fall within the normal range from the abnormal range, it is possible to see at a glance an improvement action that has a short improvement required period and is easy to produce the effect. In a case where an improvement action with a long improvement required period is noticeable, there is a possibility that the motivation for the action of the target examinee will be lowered. However, this can be prevented. - Although the
improvement proposals 91A to 91C having different abnormal items are exemplified inFIGS. 30A and 30B , the present embodiment can also be applied to a plurality of improvement proposals having the same abnormal item and different improvement actions. - In an embodiment 1-4 shown in
FIGS. 31 to 33 , thereception unit 64 functions as an answer receiving unit, and receives an answer to a question to determine whether or not the improvement action matches the type of the target examinee. In a case where a plurality of improvement actions corresponding to one abnormal item are extracted by theextraction unit 65, the screenoutput control unit 66 outputs an improvement action corresponding to the answer received by thereception unit 64, among the plurality of improvement actions, as theimprovement proposal 91. - The screen
output control unit 66 displays aquestion answer dialog 110 shown inFIG. 31 before displaying theimprovement proposal 91 according to the selection of thetab 80B. Fouranswer buttons OK button 112 are provided in thequestion answer dialog 110. These can be selected by thecursor 81. - The
answer buttons 111A to 111D are buttons for answering the question to determine whether or not the improvement action matches the type of the target examinee. One of theanswer buttons 111A to 111D can be selected. In a case where theanswer button 111A is selected and theOK button 112 is selected, an answer indicating “poor in exercise” is received by thereception unit 64. Similarly, an answer indicating “like drinking” is received by thereception unit 64 in the case of theanswer button 111B, an answer indicating active is received by thereception unit 64 in the case of theanswer button 111C, and an answer indicating “feel biased nutrition” is received by thereception unit 64 in the case of theanswer button 111D. - A table 115 shown in
FIG. 32 shows the output conditions of the improvement action for each answer according to the screenoutput control unit 66 in a case where a plurality of improvement actions corresponding to one abnormal item are extracted by theextraction unit 65. The output conditions in a case where the answer is “poor in exercise” are “action relevant to exercise is excluded”. Similarly, the output conditions in a case where the answer is “like drinking” are “non-drinking is excluded”, the output conditions in a case where the answer is “active” are “action relevant to exercise is preferentially output”, and the output conditions in a case where the answer is “feel biased nutrition” are “action relevant to purchasing of nutritional supplements is preferentially output”. -
FIG. 33 shows an example of the case where the answer is “poor in exercise”. As improvement actions corresponding to one abnormal item I20, a total of three actions AC20 (exercise system), AC21 (meal system), and AC22 (meal system) are extracted by theextraction unit 65. In this case, the screenoutput control unit 66 excludes the action AC20 (exercise system) according to the output conditions “action relevant to exercise is excluded” for the answer “poor in exercise” in the table 115. Therefore, in the improvementproposal display region 90 of the medical checkupresult display screen 35, theimprovement proposal 91 of the actions AC21 (meal system) and AC22 (meal system) is displayed, but theimprovement proposal 91 of the action AC20 (exercise system) is not displayed. - As described above, in a case where an answer to the question to determine whether or not the improvement action matches the type of the target examinee is received and a plurality of improvement actions corresponding one abnormal item are extracted by the
extraction unit 65, an improvement action corresponding to the answer among the plurality of improvement actions is output as the improvement proposal. Therefore, since it is possible to output theimprovement proposal 91 suitable for the type of the target examinee, the target examinee can easily find and adopt theimprovement proposal 91 suitable for his or her own type. - As in a general personality diagnosis test, a plurality of questions may be answered one by one in a questionnaire format, and it may be determined for which of the action relevant to the exercise, the action relevant to the meal, and the action relevant to the purchasing of nutritional supplements the target examinee has an aptitude. In addition, the output conditions of the improvement action may be set more finely. For example, questions relevant to the details of exercise, such as “like long running” and “want to be muscular”, are prepared, and which of aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise among the actions related to exercise is to be preferentially output is determined according to the answer.
- Also in this case, as in the embodiment 1-3 described above, in a case where there are a plurality of
improvement proposals 91, it is preferable to display the plurality ofimprovement proposals 91 in ascending order of improvement required period. - In an embodiment 1-5 shown in
FIGS. 34 and 35 , thereception unit 64 functions as a designation receiving unit, and receives designation of a measurement item. In addition to theimprovement proposal 91, theextraction unit 65 extracts an improvement action corresponding to a designated item that is a measurement item received by thereception unit 64. The screenoutput control unit 66 outputs the designated item and the improvement action corresponding to the designated item as a medical checkup result. - In
FIG. 34 , on a medical checkupresult display screen 120 of the present embodiment, only theimprovement proposal 91 is displayed in adisplay region 121 in a state immediately after thetab 80B is selected. In the lower portion of thedisplay region 121, alink 122 for designating a measurement item is displayed. In a case where thelink 122 is selected by thecursor 81, a measurementitem designation dialog 123 is pop-up displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 120. - A measurement
item input box 124, adesignation button 125, and aclose button 126 are provided in thedesignation dialog 123. In a case where thedesignation button 125 is selected in a state in which a measurement item is input to theinput box 124, the measurement item of theinput box 124 is received as a designated item by thereception unit 64. In a case where theclose button 126 is selected by thecursor 81, the display of thedesignation dialog 123 disappears. -
FIG. 35 exemplifies a case where a measurement item I31 is designated as a designated item and an improvement action AC31 is extracted by theextraction unit 65 as an improvement action corresponding thereto. In this case, in addition to theimprovement proposal 91 configured to include an abnormal item I30 and an improvement action AC30, the screenoutput control unit 66 displays a designatedimprovement proposal 130 configured to include a designated item I31 and the improvement action AC31, as a medical checkup result, in thedisplay region 121. Similarly to theimprovement proposal 91, the designatedimprovement proposal 130 is a sentence obtained by combining a designated item, improvement action, and the percentage of examinees showing improvements. - As described above, since the designation of a measurement item is received, an improvement action corresponding to a designated item that is the designated measurement item is extracted, and the designated item and the improvement action corresponding to the designated item are output, it is possible to display not only the improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item but also an improvement action corresponding to a designated item that the user particularly desires to know. In a case where there is a measurement item about which the user is usually concerned even though the measurement item is not an abnormal item, it is possible to easily check the improvement action.
- In an embodiment 1-6 shown in
FIGS. 36 and 37 , thederivation unit 62 also derives non-improvement actions that are actions performed in a case where there is no significant improvement in the measurement value. Theextraction unit 65 also extracts a non-improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item. The screenoutput control unit 66 also outputs the non-improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item. - In
FIG. 36 , thederivation unit 62 creates the statistical table 70 for each action, in the same manner as inFIG. 11 of the embodiment 1-1 described above. Thederivation unit 62 derives an action satisfying the derivation conditions, in which the percentage of examinees showing improvements is 80% or more, as an improvement action. In addition, thederivation unit 62 derives an action satisfying the derivation conditions, in which the percentage of examinees showing improvements is less than 20%, as a non-improvement action. -
FIG. 36 exemplifies the statistical table 70 of action AC40 and action AC41. The percentage of examinees showing improvements in a measurement item I40 is 95% in the case of the action AC40 and 15% in the case of the action AC41. Therefore, in this case, as shown as a derivation result, the action AC40 for which the percentage of examinees showing improvements is 95% is derived as an improvement action of the measurement item I40. In addition, the action AC41 for which the percentage of examinees showing improvements is 15% is derived as a non-improvement action of the measurement item I40. - In a derivation result storage table 135 of the present embodiment, not only an improvement action but also a non-improvement action is registered. In
FIG. 36 , the action AC40 is registered in the improvement action of the measurement item I40, and the action AC41 is registered in the non-improvement action. - As shown as an extraction result, the
extraction unit 65 extracts not only the improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item but also the non-improvement action corresponding to the abnormal item with reference to the derivation result storage table 135.FIG. 36 exemplifies a case where the measurement item I40 is selected as an abnormal item and the action AC40 is extracted as an improvement action and the action AC41 is extracted as a non-improvement action. - Upon receiving the extraction result including the improvement action and the non-improvement action, the screen
output control unit 66 outputs a medical checkupresult display screen 140 shown inFIG. 37 . In addition to theimprovement proposal 91, anaction change proposal 142 is displayed as a medical checkup result in adisplay region 141 of the medical checkupresult display screen 140. Theaction change proposal 142 is a sentence that includes an abnormal item and a non-improvement action and indicates that the non-improvement action should be changed to other actions since the non-improvement action is not effective in improving the abnormal item. Subsequent toFIG. 36 ,FIG. 37 exemplifies a case where the abnormal item is the measurement item I40, the improvement action is AC40, and the non-improvement action is AC41. - As described above, since the
derivation unit 62 also derives the non-improvement action, theextraction unit 65 also extracts the non-improvement action, and the screenoutput control unit 66 also outputs the non-improvement action, it is possible to see at a glance actions from which the abnormal item improvement effect cannot be expected. In a case where the target examinee has performed non-improvement action until now, this becomes a trigger to stop the non-improvement action and change to another action from which other effects can be expected. - In an embodiment 1-7 shown in
FIGS. 38 to 40 , the screenoutput control unit 66 outputs the level of the health condition of the target examinee, which is determined based on the measurement value, as a medical checkup result. In addition to the level of the health condition, the screenoutput control unit 66 outputs the numerical values of examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee. - The
derivation unit 62 has a function of determining the level of each examinee. Thederivation unit 62 determines the level of each examinee at the latest medical checkup according to, for example, a table 145 shown inFIG. 38 . That is, in a case where no abnormal item is selected in each measurement item of the latest medical checkup information 21 (in a case where the number of selected abnormal items is zero), the level is determined to be A. Similarly, the level is determined to be B in a case where one or two abnormal items are selected, C in a case where three or four abnormal items are selected, and D in a case where five or more abnormal items are selected. That is, the health condition is the best at the level A and the worst at the level D. Thederivation unit 62 outputs the level determination result to thestorage search unit 61. Thestorage search unit 61 records the level determination result in theattribute information 30. - The
storage search unit 61 creates a table 147 shown inFIG. 39 based on the level determination result recorded in theattribute information 30 of each examinee. In the table 147, the number of persons corresponding to each of the levels A to D is counted and recorded for each of the attributes of sex and age. - The screen
output control unit 66 outputs a medical checkupresult display screen 150 shown inFIG. 40 based on the level determination result recorded in theattribute information 30 and the table 147. The medical checkupresult display screen 150 comprises atab 80C in addition to thetabs tab 80C is selected by thecursor 81, a leveldetermination result summary 151 and abar graph 152 are displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 150. - The level
determination result summary 151 is a sentence including the level of the health condition of the target examinee, the total number of examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee, and the number of examinees having the same level as the target examinee among the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee. In thebar graph 152, for the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee, the number of examinees corresponding to the levels A to D is expressed by the height of abar 153 and the numerical value in thebar 153. Thebar 153 is colored in different colors at each of the levels A to D (for example, the level A is blue, the level B is green, the level C is yellow, and the level D is red). Aballoon 154 indicating that the target examinee is the level is displayed above thebar 153 corresponding to the level of the target examinee. - The total number of examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee and the number of examinees having the same level as the target examinee in the level
determination result summary 151 correspond to the numerical values of examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee. In addition, the numerical values indicating the number of persons corresponding to the levels A to D in thebar graph 152 also correspond to the numerical values of examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee. - As described above, since the level of the health condition of the target examinee is output as a medical checkup result, it is possible to see at a glance what kind of health condition the target examinee is in. In addition, since the numerical values of examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee are output, it is possible to see at a glance at which level the health condition of the target examinee is located among the examinees having the same attributes. In a case where the level is poor, the target examinee can have a sense of crisis that it is risky to keep the current health condition, and this leads to the execution of improvement action.
- As in an embodiment 1-8 to be described below, a level may be determined for each category, such as lipid metabolism, sugar metabolism, and liver function, the
tab 80C may be provided for each category, and the level may be output for each category. - In an embodiment 1-8 shown in
FIGS. 41 and 42 , the screenoutput control unit 66 outputs a health condition display map as a medical checkup result. - In
FIG. 41 , a medical checkupresult display screen 160 of the present embodiment comprises atab 80D in addition to thetabs tab 80D is selected by thecursor 81, a healthcondition display map 161 and acomment check icon 162 are displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 160. - The health
condition display map 161 has afirst axis 163 on the horizontal axis, asecond axis 164 on the vertical axis perpendicular to thefirst axis 163, a circular mark 165, and a comparison arrow 166. On thefirst axis 163, a plurality of levels A to D of the health condition of the target examinee are arranged. As in the embodiment 1-7 described above, the health condition is the best at the level A and the worst at the level D. - On the
second axis 164, a plurality of categories for determining the health condition of the target examinee are arranged. Categories include the degree of obesity, lipid metabolism, blood pressure, sugar metabolism, liver function, kidney function, and the like. The level of each category is determined by thederivation unit 62 based on the measurement values of one or more measurement items. For example, the level of the degree of obesity is determined based on the BMI, the level of lipid metabolism is determined based on total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and neutral fat, the level of blood pressure is determined based on blood pressure (top) and blood pressure (bottom), and the level of sugar metabolism is based on fasting blood sugar and HbA1c. The determination result of the level of each category is output to thestorage search unit 61 by thederivation unit 62, and is recorded in theattribute information 30 by thestorage search unit 61. - On the
second axis 164, categories with a level C or D (lipid metabolism and blood pressure inFIG. 41 ) are displayed so as to be distinguishable from categories with a level A or B as indicated by hatching. - A mark 165 is displayed at the intersection of the level of the
first axis 163 and the category of thesecond axis 164. The mark 165 expresses the magnitude of the number of examinees, who have the same attributes as the target examinee, through its size. That is, the larger the mark 165, the larger the number of examinees belonging to the level of the category. For example, in the category of the degree of obesity, it can be seen that the number of examinees decreases in order of level B, level A, level C, and level D since the mark 165 is small in order of level B, level A, level C, and level D. In addition, attributes are sex and age. - Similar to the
bar 153 in the embodiment 1-7 described above, the mark 165 is colored in different colors at each of the levels A to D (for example, the level A is blue, the level B is green, the level C is yellow, and the level D is red). The mark 165 includes amark 165A having a high color density and amark 165B having a low color density. Themark 165A having a high color density is disposed at an intersection corresponding to the level of the target examinee. On the other hand, themark 165B having a low color density is disposed at a position other than the intersection corresponding to the level of the target examinee. InFIG. 41 , as the level of the target examinee, a case is exemplified in which the degree of obesity and sugar metabolism are A, liver function and kidney function and others are B, and lipid metabolism and blood pressure are C. - A comparison arrow 166 indicates whether the level of each category has improved or worsened from the last medical checkup. The comparison arrow 166 includes a
comparison arrow 166A indicating that the level is the same between the last medical checkup and the current medical checkup (indicating the right side), acomparison arrow 166B indicating that the level has improved in the current medical checkup (indicating the upper right side), and acomparison arrow 166C indicating that the level has worsened in the current medical checkup (indicating the lower right side). - The
comment check icon 162 is selected by thecursor 81 at the time of checking the comments of examinees who have similar levels (including the same level) of each category to the level of the target examinee. In thecomment check icon 162, athumbnail 167 of the face photographs of examinees having similar levels of each category to the level of the target examinee and athumbnail 168 of the healthcondition display map 161 of the examinees are displayed. - In a case where the
comment check icon 162 is selected by thecursor 81, acomment display dialog 170 shown inFIG. 42 is pop-up displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 160. Similar to thecomment check icon 162, thethumbnails comment display dialog 170. Aballoon 171 and aclose button 172 are displayed in thecomment display dialog 170. In theballoon 171, comments of examinees having similar levels of each category to the level of the target examinee or alink 173 of the website recommended by the examinee is displayed. Thecomment display dialog 170 disappears by selecting theclose button 172 with thecursor 81. - Comments are input through the
client terminal 11, received by thereception unit 64, and recorded in advance in theattribute information 30 by thestorage search unit 61. Examinees having similar levels of each category to the level of the target examinee are searched for by thestorage search unit 61. - As described above, as a medical checkup result, there is output the health
condition display map 161 having thefirst axis 163 on which the level of the health condition of the target examinee is arranged, thesecond axis 164 on which a plurality of categories for determining the health condition are arranged, and the mark 165 expressing the magnitude of the number of examinees who have the same level as the target examinee and the same attributes as the target examinee. Therefore, it is possible to see at a glance the health condition of the target examinee according to each category, and it is possible to see at a glance at which level the health condition of the target examinee according to each category is located among the examinees having the same attributes. - Since the comparison arrow 166 is displayed, it is possible to see at a glance the category of the same level as the last medical checkup and the category whose level has improved or worsened in the current medical checkup. In a case where the
improvement proposal 91 including the measurement item of the category, for which thecomparison arrow 166C indicating that the level has worsened in the current medical checkup is displayed, is made, the target examinee feels like returning to the level at the time of the last medical checkup. Therefore, the motivation for improvement action is further raised. The comparison arrow 166 may also be displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 150 shown inFIG. 40 in the embodiment 1-7 described above. - Since the comments of the examinees having similar levels of each category to the level of the target examinee are displayed, it is possible to give the target examinee an opportunity to cause action in accordance with the examinees. Displaying the
thumbnail 167 of the face photographs of the examinees together with the comment is more preferable because the reliability of the comment increases. In addition, a mechanism for following a specific examinee among the examinees having similar levels of each category to the level of the target examinee, such as an image posting site or a tweeting posting site, may be provided. - In the embodiment 1-2 described above, by using the level of each category as a search condition, examinees having similar levels of each category to the level of the target examinee may be searched for as similar examinees.
- The kinds of category and the number of levels is not limited to those exemplified in
FIG. 41 . Thefirst axis 163 may be taken as the vertical axis, and thesecond axis 164 may be taken as the horizontal axis. - The mark 165 is not limited to a circle. As a method of expressing the level of the target examinee with the mark 165, various methods, such as a method in which the mark 165 disposed at the intersection corresponding to the level of the target examinee is surrounded by a frame and the mark 165 disposed at other intersections is not surrounded by a frame, can be adopted in addition to changing the color density. Similarly, as a method of expressing the magnitude of the number of examinees, who have the same attributes as the target examinee, with the mark 165, for example, a numerical value indicating the number of persons may be displayed within the mark 165 instead of changing the size of the mark 165.
- In an embodiment 1-9 shown in
FIGS. 43 to 45 , the screenoutput control unit 66 outputs a first map, which is a health condition display map in which all the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee are set as a population, and a second map, which is a health condition display map in which the population is limited to those who performed actions among the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee, so that the display of the first map and the display of the second map can be switched. - In
FIGS. 43 to 45 , switchingbuttons cursor 81 are provided in the health condition display map 175 of the present embodiment. The switchingbuttons 176A to 176C are buttons for performing display switching between afirst map 175A, which is the health condition display map 175 in which all the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee are set as a population, andsecond maps first map 175A shown inFIG. 43 is displayed in a case where theswitching button 176A is selected, thesecond map 175B shown inFIG. 44 is displayed in a case where theswitching button 176B is selected, and thesecond map 175C shown inFIG. 45 is displayed in a case where theswitching button 176C is selected. In addition, the selected one of the switchingbuttons 176A to 176C is displayed so as to be distinguishable from others as indicated by hatching. - The
first map 175A shown inFIG. 43 is the same as the healthcondition display map 161 shown inFIG. 41 in the embodiment 1-8 described above. Thesecond map 175B shown inFIG. 44 has a population limited to examinees who performed actions relevant to exercise among the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee. Thesecond map 175C shown inFIG. 45 has a population limited to examinees who performed actions relevant to meal among the examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee. The comparison arrow 166 is not displayed in thesecond maps FIGS. 44 and 45 exemplify cases where both thesecond maps first map 175A and the number of persons corresponding to the levels C and D smaller than that in thefirst map 175A. - As described above, since the
first map 175A and thesecond maps - In the embodiments 1-7 to 1-9 described above, as in the embodiment 1-2 described above, the attributes are not limited to sex and age, and may be address, occupation, body type, drinking, smoking, anamnesis, allergy information, genetic information, and the like.
- In an embodiment 1-10 shown in
FIGS. 46, 47A, and 47B , an improvement goal for which it is thought that the current lifestyle needs to be changed is set for the target examinee, and a disease rate corresponding to the set improvement goal is output as a medical checkup result. - In
FIG. 46 , a medical checkupresult display screen 180 of the present embodiment comprises atab 80E in addition to thetabs tab 80E is selected by thecursor 81, an improvementgoal setting region 181 and a diseaserate display region 182 are displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 180. - A plurality of pull-down
menus 183 are provided in the improvementgoal setting region 181. The pull-downmenus 183 are classified into meal, exercise, smoking, drinking, and sleep. For example, in the meal, the pull-down menu 183 is provided for setting the frequency of eating breakfast, calorie intake per day, the number of snacks per day, and time taken for one meal. In a state immediately after thetab 80E shown inFIG. 46 is selected, the pull-down menu 183 is in a state in which the contents of the target examinee answered at the inquiry are set. - A disease
rate display bar 184, a current diseaserate display box 185A, and a post-setting diseaserate display box 185B are provided in the diseaserate display region 182. The diseaserate display bar 184 has a horizontally long band shape, and the left end indicates a disease rate of 0% and the right end indicates a disease rate of 100%. A current diseaserate indicator mark 186A in the form of a triangular arrow is disposed below the diseaserate display bar 184. A current disease rate of the target examinee is displayed in the current diseaserate display box 185A. On the other hand, a disease rate of the target examinee after setting the improvement goal (post-setting disease rate) is displayed in the post-setting diseaserate display box 185B (refer toFIG. 47B ).FIG. 46 shows a state immediately after thetab 80E is selected. Accordingly, the post-setting diseaserate display box 185B is blank. - Here, the current disease rate is a rate at which similar examinees to the target examinee who have been searched for in consideration of the contents of the inquiry indicated by the pull-
down menu 183 suffer from diseases, such as lifestyle-related diseases, in the method of the embodiment 1-2 described above, for example. In addition, the post-setting disease rate is a rate at which the similar examinees, who have performed actions for the same improvement goal as the improvement goal set by the target examinee for a predetermined period (for example, one year), suffer from the disease. - As shown in
FIGS. 47A and 47B , the display of the post-setting diseaserate display box 185B is switched in real time by changing the setting of the pull-down menu 183.FIG. 47A shows a state before changing the setting of the pull-down menu 183, andFIG. 47B shows a state after changing the setting of the pull-down menu 183. InFIG. 47B , in addition to the current diseaserate indicator mark 186A, a post-setting diseaserate indicator mark 186B appears below the diseaserate display bar 184.FIGS. 47A and 47B show an example in which the current disease rate of 80% changes to the post-setting disease rate of 50% as a result of the change of the number of cigarettes per day from 15 to 0. - In this manner, since the disease rate corresponding to the improvement goal set by the target examinee is output, it is possible to immediately see what kind of effect is obtained by changing which part of the current lifestyle. Therefore, it is possible to raise the motivation for the target examinee to take action.
- Instead of the disease rate, the levels of the embodiments 1-7 to 1-9 described above may be displayed. In this case, the current level of a certain category and the expected level after setting are displayed. Alternatively, the current measurement value of a specific measurement item and the expected measurement value after setting may be displayed.
- In an embodiment 1-11 shown in
FIGS. 48, 49A, and 49B , theimprovement proposals 91 that do not contradict each other within the same family are output. -
FIG. 48 shows a derivation result storage table 190 of the present embodiment. That is, “eat blue fish two days or more per week”, “do not eat liver”, and “drink soy milk every day” are registered as improvement actions in a case where total cholesterol is a high value abnormality, “do not eat blue fish” and “drink soy milk every day” are registered as improvement actions in a case where the uric acid value is a high value abnormality, and “eat liver two days or more per week” is registered as an improvement action in a case where the number of red blood cells is a high value abnormality. - Here, as shown in
FIGS. 49A and 49B , a case is considered in which a father who is the same family has a high value abnormality in total cholesterol and a mother has a high value abnormality in uric acid value and a high value abnormality in the number of red blood cells. In this case, in a case where there is no restriction, as shown inFIG. 49A , theextraction unit 65 extracts the improvement actions “eat blue fish two days or more per week”, “do not eat liver”, and “drink soy milk every day” for the father according to the derivation result storage table 190. On the other hand, for the mother, theextraction unit 65 extracts the improvement actions “do not eat blue fish”, “eat liver two days or more per week”, and “drink soy milk every day”. In this case, “eat blue fish two days or more per week” that is the improvement action for the father and “do not eat blue fish” that is the improvement action for the mother contradict each other. Similarly, “do not eat liver” that is the improvement action for the father and “eat liver two days or more per week” that is the improvement action for the mother contradict each other. In a case where theimprovement proposal 91 including contradictory improvement actions is output as it is, they are confused as to what kind of meal they have to eat. - In order to avoid such a contradiction between improvement actions within the same family, as shown in
FIG. 49B , the screenoutput control unit 66 of the present embodiment outputs theimprovement proposal 91 excluding contradictory improvement actions.FIG. 49B exemplifies a case where only “drink soy milk every day” is output excluding “eat blue fish two days or more per week” and “do not eat liver” that are improvement actions for the father and “do not eat blue fish” and “eat liver two days or more per week” that are improvement actions for the mother. - In this manner, since the
improvement proposals 91 that do not contradict each other within the same family is output, there is no question as to what kind of action the target examinee should take. - In an embodiment 1-12 shown in
FIG. 50 , animprovement proposal 91 is output in association with the schedule of the target examinee. - In
FIG. 50 , a medical checkupresult display screen 195 of the present embodiment comprises atab 80F in addition to thetabs tab 80F is selected by thecursor 81, ascheduler 196 and an improvementpoint display dialog 197 are displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 195. - In the
scheduler 196, the schedule of one day registered by the target examinee himself or herself is displayed. The schedule includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, cleaning, shopping, and the like. In addition to these, there are commuting, returning home, work, and the like. In the improvementpoint display dialog 197, information (improvement points) of improvement actions that the target examinee is likely to work on without difficulty in the schedule is displayed. -
FIG. 50 is an example of an improvement point that recommends aerobic exercise of 60 minutes or more as an improvement action in association with a shopping schedule. More specifically, in the improvementpoint display dialog 197, a sentence recommending the target examinee to go shopping by walking or bicycle by taking a detour longer than usual and a comparison of calorie consumption in a normal case where the target examinee does not take a detour and calorie consumption in a case where the target examinee takes a detour are described. - In this manner, in a case where the
improvement proposal 91 is made in association with the schedule, the target examinee can work on the improvement action without difficulty within the daily schedule. In addition, the improvement point may be the content recommending an improvement action relevant to meals in association with a meal schedule. - The numerical value of the improvement goal of the measurement value may be input, and an optimal action for realizing the numerical value of the improvement goal may be output as an improvement action. In this case, an improvement action corresponding to the numerical value of the improvement goal of the measurement value of each measurement item is derived in advance by the
derivation unit 62. Also in this case, as in the embodiment 1-3 described above, in a case where there are a plurality ofimprovement proposals 91, it is preferable to display the plurality ofimprovement proposals 91 in ascending order of improvement required period. - In the case of a target examinee who does not show the improvement effect at all even though the improvement action output by the
improvement proposal 91 has been performed for a predetermined period, there is a high possibility that the targeted examinee may suffer from a certain disease. Therefore, for such a target examinee, it is preferable to display a message prompting the target examinee to receive health guidance or to receive a doctor's diagnosis on the medical checkup result display screen. - Examinees performing the same improvement action (for example, aerobic exercise) as the target examinee may be searched for as similar examinees by the
storage search unit 61. In this case, the searched examinees are divided into a plurality of groups (for example, a group performing aerobic exercise of two days per week and 30 minutes each time and a group performing aerobic exercise of three days per week and one hour each time) according to the frequency or intensity of improvement action, and the degree of improvement of the measurement value is displayed for each group. This is preferable because it is possible to see at a glance what kind of effect is obtained according to the degree of increase in the frequency or intensity of the action. - The
action history 23 of the target examinee may be displayed so as to be superimposed on a line graph showing the transition of the measurement value of the abnormal item. In this case, since it is possible to see at a glance what kind of action actually contributed to the improvement of the measurement value, the target examinee himself or herself can derive an improvement action suitable for himself or herself. For this reason, for example, in a case where it is determined that the nutritional supplement purchased due to theadvertisement banner 92 does not contribute to improving the measurement value, it is possible to select an improvement action to be performed without being swept away by advertisements, such as stopping the purchase of the nutritional supplement. - The whole body photographs of the target examinee may be registered in the
attribute information 30, and the whole body photographs before and after the improvement action may be displayed in a comparable manner. In this case, the scales of the whole body photographs before and after the improvement action are matched with each other by image processing or the like based on the distance between the eyes or the like. Then, before and after the improvement action, the degree of change (weight 5% reduced, abdominal girth −10 cm, and the like) in each measurement value, such as weight, BMI, abdominal girth, arm circumference, and thigh circumference, is displayed. - In return for providing the
action history 23, themedical checkup information 21 may be provided from thedata center 24 to thehealth service company 16 through the medical checkupresult output server 12 without charge. On the other hand, it is preferable to provide themedical checkup information 21 at a cost for thehealth service company 16 that desires to provide only themedical checkup information 21 without providing theaction history 23. This gives an incentive for thehealth service company 16 to provide theaction history 23. As a result, theaction history 23 is more likely to gather at thedata center 24. - In addition to the
medical checkup information 21, information of abnormal items or theimprovement proposal 91, information of similar examinees, average values of changes in measurement values before and after improvement action, and the like may be provided to thehealth service company 16. The method of utilizing the pieces of information may be left to thehealth service company 16. - Not only the
medical checkup information 21 but also theaction history 23 may be provided to thehealth service company 16. In this case, it is conceivable to provide theaction history 23 of thehealth service company 16 belonging to a different industry, such as providing theaction history 23 from the fitness center to the menu offering site management company. In this case, theaction history 23 of thehealth service company 16 belonging to a different industry cannot be understood as it is by thehealth service company 16 at the destination. For this reason, it is preferable to convert theaction history 23 of thehealth service company 16 belonging to a different industry into text information so that the content can be understood even at the destination. - The
action history 23 may be directly input by the examinee through theclient terminal 11A. - In the second invention shown in
FIGS. 51 to 61 , the screenoutput control unit 66 outputs, as a medical checkup result, a line graph obtained by plotting normalized measurement values for each measurement item and making a connection therebetween using a line. Thestorage search unit 61 calculates a similarity between the target examinee and a candidate for a similar examinee using a standardized measurement value as a parameter. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those of the first invention described above, and the description thereof will be omitted. - In
FIG. 51 , anoperation program 201 is stored in astorage device 40B of a medical checkupresult output server 200 of the second invention. Theoperation program 201 is an application program for making the computer that forms the medical checkupresult output server 200 function as a medical checkup result output apparatus. - In a case where the
operation program 201 is started, theCPU 42B of the medical checkupresult output server 200 cooperates with thememory 41 or the like to function as astandardization processing unit 205 and anormalization processing unit 206 in addition to theacquisition unit 60, thestorage search unit 61, thereception unit 64, and the screenoutput control unit 66 of the first invention described above. In this case, thestorage search unit 61 outputs themedical checkup information 21 included in theintegrated information 26, which is stored in theintegrated information DB 25, to thestandardization processing unit 205 and thenormalization processing unit 206. - As schematically shown in
FIG. 52 , thestandardization processing unit 205 has a standardization processing function for setting each of a plurality of measurement values V as a standardized measurement value V(Z) by using an average value V(μ) and a standard deviation V(σ) of the measurement values V of a plurality of examinees in medical checkup. More specifically, thestandardization processing unit 205 calculates the average value V(p) and the standard deviation V(σ) of the measurement values V of examinees, which are measured in the same period of one year, for each measurement item. Here, the same period is a period in which no significant change occurs in the measurement value V due to the seasonal variation. For example, as shown inFIG. 2 , the same period is the same day of the same week in the same month. - The
standardization processing unit 205 calculates the standardized measurement value V(Z) as expressed by the following Equation (2). -
V(Z)={V−V(μ)}/V(σ) (2) - For example, in a case where the measurement value V to be subjected to standardization processing is 100, the average value V(μ) is 130, and the standard deviation V(σ) is 1.5, the standardized measurement value V(Z) is V(Z)=(100−130)/1.5=−20. The
standardization processing unit 205 transmits the standardized measurement value V(Z) calculated as described above to thestorage search unit 61. - As is apparent from Equation (2), the standardized measurement value V(Z) is obtained by subtracting the average value V(μ) of the measurement value V measured in the same period as the population from the measurement value V to be subjected to standardization processing and then dividing the result by the standard deviation V(σ) of the measurement value V measured in the same period as the population. The standardized measurement value V(Z) is also referred to as a Z value. The standardized measurement value V(Z) is 0 in a case where the measurement value V is equal to the average value V(μ). As the measurement value V deviates from the average value V(μ), the absolute value of the standardized measurement value V(Z) increases.
- The
normalization processing unit 206 has a normalization processing function for setting each of the plurality of measurement values V as a normalized measurement value V(N) for which an upper limit value UL and a lower limit value LL of the normal range are uniformly the same value in each measurement item. Specifically, as shown inFIG. 53 , thenormalization processing unit 206 sets the upper limit value UL and the lower limit value LL as a standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and a standardized lower limit value LL(Z) using the average value V(μ) and the standard deviation V(a). Then, according to the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z), the standardized measurement value V(Z) is set as the normalized measurement value V(N). - More specifically, as in the case of the standardized measurement value V(Z), the
normalization processing unit 206 sets the upper limit value UL and the lower limit value LL of each measurement item as a standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and a standardized lower limit value LL(Z) as shown in the following Equations (3) and (4). -
UL(Z)={UL−V(μ)}/V(σ) (3) -
LL(Z)={LL−V(μ)}/V(σ) (4) - For a measurement item for which only one of the upper limit value UL and the lower limit value LL is set, the
normalization processing unit 206 standardizes only the set limit value. - For example, in a case where the average value V(μ) and the standard deviation V(σ) of the measurement values of total cholesterol are 180 and 2, the upper limit value UL and the lower limit value LL of total cholesterol are 219 and 150 according to
FIG. 20 . Therefore, the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) are UL(Z)=(219−180)/2=19.5 and LL(Z)=(150−180)/2=−15. - The
normalization processing unit 206 performs processing such that the intermediate value (center value of the standardized normal range) between the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) of each measurement item is 0 and the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) of each measurement item are uniformly the same value, for example, the standardized upper limit value UL(Z)=1 and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z)=−1. Therefore, thenormalization processing unit 206 subtracts the intermediate value between the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) from the standardized measurement value V(Z). Then, the normalized measurement value V(N) is calculated by dividing the value, which is obtained by subtracting the intermediate value the from standardized measurement value V(Z), by the value obtained by subtracting the intermediate value from the standardized upper limit value UL(Z). That is, in a case where the intermediate value between the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) is IV, the normalized measurement value V(N) is calculated by the following Equation (5). -
V(N)={V(Z)−IV}/{UL(Z)−IV} (5) - A case is considered in which the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) is 20 and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) is −10. In this case, the intermediate value IV is (20−10)/2=5. In order to change the
value 5 to 0, the standardized upper limit value UL(Z) may be changed to 15 by subtracting 5 from 20 and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z) may be changed to −15 by subtracting 5 from −10. Then, in order to set the changed standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and standardized lower limit value LL(Z) to uniformly the same value, that is, in order to obtain the standardized upper limit value UL(Z)=1 and the standardized lower limit value LL(Z)=−1, the changed standardized upper limit value UL(Z) and standardized lower limit value LL(Z) may be divided by 15. Therefore, for example, in a case where the standardized measurement value V(Z) is 9.5, the normalized measurement value V(N) is V(N)=(9.5−5)/(20−5)=0.3. Thenormalization processing unit 206 transmits the normalized measurement value V(N) calculated as described above to thestorage search unit 61. - The
storage search unit 61 registers the standardized measurement value V(Z) from thestandardization processing unit 205 and the normalized measurement value V(N) from thenormalization processing unit 206 in theintegrated information 26 so as to be associated with the measurement value V of themedical checkup information 21. In addition, in response to the distribution request of the medical checkup result display screen 210 (refer toFIG. 54 ) from thereception unit 64, thestorage search unit 61 outputs the latest normalized measurement value V(N) of the target examinee to the screenoutput control unit 66. - In
FIG. 54 , a medical checkupresult display screen 210 of the present embodiment comprises atab 80G in addition to thetabs tab 80G is selected by thecursor 81, aline graph 211 and asearch button 212 are displayed on the medical checkupresult display screen 210. - As shown in
FIG. 55 , theline graph 211 is obtained by plotting the latest normalized measurement value V(N) of the target examinee for each measurement item and making a connection therebetween using a line in a state in which the measurement item is assigned on the horizontal axis and the normalized measurement value V(N) is assigned on the vertical axis. On the right side of theline graph 211, arrows indicating the normal range and the abnormal range are displayed. Within theline graph 211, the abnormal range is displayed so as to be distinguishable from the normal range as indicated by hatching. The screenoutput control unit 66 outputs theline graph 211 as a medical checkup result. - As described above, the normalized measurement value V(N) is calculated by the
normalization processing unit 206 so that the center value of the normal range is 0 and the upper limit value UL and the lower limit value LL of the normal range are uniformly the same value in each measurement item. Therefore, in the normalized measurement value V(N) on the vertical axis, the center value of the normal range is 0. The upper limit value UL is 1 and the lower limit value LL is −1. That is, the upper limit value UL and the lower limit value LL are unified to the same value. - The
search button 212 can be selected by thecursor 81. In a case where thesearch button 212 is selected by thecursor 81, a search request for searching for a similar examinee who is an examinee similar to the target examinee is issued from thebrowser control unit 51 of theclient terminal 11 to thereception unit 64 of the medical checkupresult output server 200. - In a case where the similar examinee search regarding is received by the
reception unit 64, thestorage search unit 61 functions as a search unit, and has a search function for searching for similar examinees. Thestorage search unit 61 calculates a similarity between the target examinee and candidates for similar examinees using the standardized measurement value V(Z) as a parameter. Here, the candidates for similar examinees are literally examinees who can be similar examinees. For example, the candidates for similar examinees are all examinees, of which theintegrated information 26 is stored in theintegrated information DB 25, other than the target examinee. Instead of all examinees, only examinees having the same attributes as the target examinee may be set as candidates for similar examinees. - As shown in
FIG. 56 , thestorage search unit 61 reads out a latest standardized measurement value VT(Z)i (i=1, 2, 3, 4, . . . ) of the target examinee and a last (for example, one year ago) standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of a candidate for a similar examinee from theintegrated information DB 25. Then, thestorage search unit 61 calculates a similarity S between the target examinee and the candidate for a similar examinee based on the following Equation (6). -
S=[{Σ(VT(Z)i−VC(Z)i)2}1/2] (6) - That is, the Equation (6) is an Equation having the standardized measurement value VT(Z)i of the target examinee and the standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of the candidate for a similar examinee as parameters. In addition, i is a number assigned for convenience to each measurement item, and corresponds to the number of measurement items.
- The similarity S is a square root of the sum of the squares of differences (VT(Z)i−VC(Z)i) between the standardized measurement value VT(Z)i of the target examinee and the standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of the candidate for a similar examinee. That is, the similarity S is a distance between a multidimensional vector having the standardized measurement value VT(Z)i of the target examinee as an element and a multidimensional vector having the standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of the candidate for a similar examinee as an element. Therefore, as the similarity between the target examinee and the candidate for a similar examinee increases, the value of the similarity S decreases since the distance between the two multidimensional vectors decreases. The
storage search unit 61 searches for candidates for similar examinees satisfying the search conditions set in advance, for example, candidates for similar examinees whose ranking in ascending order of the similarity S is equal to or lower than a predetermined ranking (for example, ranking 20), as similar examinees. In addition, the square of (VT(Z)i−VC(Z)i) corresponds to an individual similarity, and the similarity S corresponds to an overall similarity. - As shown in
FIG. 57 , thestorage search unit 61 reads out the latest normalized measurement value V(N) of the similar examinee and the one-year action history 23 from the integratedinformation 26 of the searched similar examinee. Then, theline graph 211 obtained by plotting the latest normalized measurement value V(N) of the similar examinee for each measurement item and making a connection therebetween using a line is divided into afirst group 215A and asecond group 215B according to the sorting conditions set in advance. - The
first group 215A is a group ofline graphs 211 of similar examinees for whom an aerobic exercise of two days or more per week and 30 minutes or more each time is registered in the one-year action history 23. On the other hand, thesecond group 215B is a group ofline graphs 211 of similar examinees for whom no action relevant to exercise is registered in the one-year action history 23. InFIG. 57 , in the case of a similar examinee having an examinee ID of P100, the aerobic exercise of two days per week and 30 minutes each time is registered in the one-year action history 23. Therefore, thestorage search unit 61 sorts the similar examinee having an examinee ID of P100 into thefirst group 215A. On the other hand, in the case of similar examinees having examinee IDs of P110 and P200, no action relevant to exercise is registered in the one-year action history 23. Therefore, thestorage search unit 61 sorts the similar examinees having examinee IDs of P110 and P200 into thesecond group 215B. Thestorage search unit 61 discards theline graph 211 of a similar examinee who is not sorted into thefirst group 215A and thesecond group 215B. - The
storage search unit 61 outputs the result of grouping thelatest line graphs 211 of the similar examinees into thefirst group 215A and thesecond group 215B to the screenoutput control unit 66. The screenoutput control unit 66 calculates an average value of the normalized measurement values V(N) of each measurement item in each of thegroups line graph 211 of the target examinee. - More specifically, as shown in
FIG. 58 , the screenoutput control unit 66 displays the line graph 211AVE so as to be superimposed on theline graph 211 of the target examinee. In this case, for example, the screenoutput control unit 66 changes the shape and the line type of the plots of theline graphs 211 and 211AVE so that theline graphs 211 and 211AVE are displayed so as to be distinguishable from each other. Then, alegend 218 of theline graphs 211 and 211AVE is displayed. - Hereinafter, the operation according to the configuration of the second invention will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in
FIGS. 59 to 61 . First, inFIG. 59 , the second invention until themedical checkup information 21, theattribute information 30, and theaction history 23 are acquired by the acquisition unit 60 (step ST102, acquisition step) and these are stored in theintegrated information DB 25 as the integrated information 26 (step ST103) are the same as the first invention described above. - The
medical checkup information 21 is output from thestorage search unit 61 to thestandardization processing unit 205 and thenormalization processing unit 206. As shown inFIG. 52 , in thestandardization processing unit 205, standardization processing for setting each of the plurality of measurement values V of themedical checkup information 21 as the standardized measurement value V(Z) is performed (step ST200, standardization processing step). In addition, as shown inFIG. 53 , in thenormalization processing unit 206, normalization processing for setting each of the plurality of measurement values V of themedical checkup information 21 as the normalized measurement value V(N) is performed (step ST201, normalization processing step). Thestorage search unit 61 registers the standardized measurement value V(Z) and the normalized measurement value V(N) in theintegrated information 26 so as to be associated with the measurement value V of the medical checkup information 21 (step ST202). - The latest normalized measurement value V(N) of the target examinee is input from the
storage search unit 61 to the screenoutput control unit 66. As shown inFIG. 60 , in a case where thetab 80G is selected by thecursor 81 on the medical checkupresult display screen 210, the editing request of the medical checkupresult display screen 210 is received by the reception unit 64 (YES in step ST210). In this case, based on the latest normalized measurement value V(N) of the target examinee from thestorage search unit 61, the screenoutput control unit 66 generates theline graph 211 by plotting the latest normalized measurement value V(N) of the target examinee for each measurement item and making a connection therebetween using a line. The medical checkupresult display screen 210 including theline graph 211 is output to theclient terminal 11 as a request source of the editing request (step ST211, output control step). - In the
client terminal 11 as a request source of the editing request of the medical checkupresult display screen 210, as shown inFIGS. 54 and 55 , the medical checkupresult display screen 210 is displayed on the display 43A. - According to the
line graph 211, since the upper limit value UL and the lower limit value LL of the normal range are uniformly the same in each measurement item, it is possible to evaluate the measurement value of each measurement item on the same scale. Theline graph 211 is a very brief expression method. Accordingly, in a case where the user becomes familiar with viewing theline graph 211, the user can grasp the approximate health condition of the target examinee simply by looking at the shape of theline graph 211. In a case where the user is a health instructor, the contents of health guidance instantly appear simply by looking at the shape of theline graph 211, which is efficient. - In
FIG. 61 , in a case where thesearch button 212 of the medical checkupresult display screen 210 is selected by thecursor 81, a search request of a similar examinee is received by the reception unit 64 (YES in step ST220). In this case, as shown inFIG. 56 , thestorage search unit 61 calculates the similarity S between the target examinee and the candidate for a similar examinee using the standardized measurement value V(Z) as a parameter, more specifically, the latest standardized measurement value VT(Z)i of the target examinee and the past standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of the candidate for a similar examinee as parameters (step ST221, search step). Then, based on the similarity S and the search conditions, similar examinees are searched for (step ST222, search step). - Then, as shown in
FIG. 57 , thestorage search unit 61 groups theline graph 211 of similar examinees (step ST223). The result of the grouping is output from thestorage search unit 61 to the screenoutput control unit 66. - The screen
output control unit 66 calculates an average value of the normalized measurement values V(N) of each measurement item in each group (step ST224). Then, the line graph 211AVE obtained by plotting the average value for each measurement item and making a connection therebetween using a line is output so as to be able to be compared with theline graph 211 of the target examinee (step ST225). - In the
client terminal 11 as a request source of the search request of similar examinees, as shown inFIG. 58 , the medical checkupresult display screen 210 on which theline graphs 211 and 211AVE are superimposed is displayed on the display 43A. - Since the similarity S is calculated using the standardized measurement value V(Z) as a parameter and similar examinees are searched for based on the similarity S, there is no disadvantage that the similarity S does not reflect the similarity between the health condition of the target examinee and the health condition of the candidate for a similar examinee, unlike in the case where the normalized measurement value V(N) is used as a parameter. Therefore, it is possible to search for similar examinees with higher accuracy.
- Thus, since the standardized measurement value V(Z) is used for the
line graph 211 and the normalized measurement value V(N) is used for similarity search, it is possible to obtain both the effect that a plurality of measurement values can be evaluated on the same scale and the effect that it is possible to perform a similarity search accurately reflecting the similarity between the health condition of the target examinee and the health condition of the candidate for a similar examinee. - Since the
line graph 211 of the target examinee and the line graph 211AVE of the similar examinee are output in a comparable manner, it is easy to compare the health condition of the target examinee with the health condition of the similar examinee. - The
storage search unit 61 searches for similar examinees based on the latest standardized measurement value VT(Z)i of the target examinee and the past standardized measurement value VC(Z)i of the candidate for a similar examinee, and divides thelatest line graphs 211 of the searched similar examinees into a plurality of groups 215. The screenoutput control unit 66 generates the line graph 211AVE of the average value of the normalized measurement value V(N) in each of the plurality of groups 215 as a line graph of the similar examinee. The line graph 211AVE is a model of the future health condition of the target examinee. Therefore, by outputting the line graph 211AVE of each group 215, it is possible to inform, for each group 215, in which health condition the target examinee will be in the future. In particular, as exemplified inFIG. 57 , in a case where the group 215 is divided into thegroup 215A performing some action and thegroup 215B performing no action, by comparing theline graphs 211 and 211AVE, it is possible to see at a glance what the health condition will become according to whether or not the action is performed. - Since the measurement values V of a plurality of examinees as a population for calculating the standardized measurement value V(Z) are measured in the same period of one year, the influence of seasonal variation can be eliminated from the standardized measurement value V(Z) and the normalized measurement value V(N).
- The equation for calculating the similarity S, the search conditions of similar examinees, the sorting conditions of the group 215, and the like are not limited to those exemplified above. For example, the equation for calculating the similarity S may be obtained by multiplying the square of (VT(Z)i−VC(Z)i) of individual similarity by an appropriate weighting coefficient Wi. The search conditions of similar examinees may be, for example, searching for a candidate for a similar examinee having the similarity S equal to or less than a threshold value as a similar examinee. The sorting conditions of the group 215 may be whether or not an action relevant to meal has been performed.
- Without particularly setting the sorting conditions, the
line graphs 211 of similar examinees may be grouped using clustering well known as a data analysis method. In this case, groups (referred to as clusters) divided by clustering may not be divided depending on whether or not actions have been performed, as in the case of setting the sorting conditions. Thus, in a case where groups cannot be divided depending on whether or not actions have been performed, it is preferable that the notation of thelegend 218 is limited to only the group names ofgroups action history 23 of similar examinees of each group is displayed apart from theline graphs 211 and 211AVE. - In the embodiment 1-2 described above, a similar examinee may be searched for under the search conditions relevant to the similarity S. In this case, the similarity S may be calculated by the above Equation (6) having the standardized measurement value V(Z) as a parameter, or may be calculated by an equation having the measurement value V as a parameter instead of the standardized measurement value V(Z).
- The hardware configuration of a computer, which forms the medical checkup
result output servers result output servers acquisition unit 60, thestorage search unit 61, and thereception unit 64 of the medical checkupresult output server 12, the functions of thederivation unit 62 and the derivationresult management unit 63, and the functions of theextraction unit 65 and the screenoutput control unit 66 may be distributed in three server computers. In this case, the three server computers form the medical checkup result output apparatus. - In each of the embodiments described above, the case has been exemplified in which the medical checkup
result output servers client terminal 11 side based on the screen data of the various display screens from the medical checkupresult output servers display 43. However, data that is the source of the generation of various display screens may be transmitted from the medical checkupresult output servers client terminal 11, and the various display screens may be generated on theclient terminal 11 side. In this case, the screenoutput control unit 66 is constructed in theCPU 42A of theclient terminal 11. - Each processing unit constructed in the
CPU 42B of the medical checkupresult output servers CPU 42A of theclient terminal 11, so that theclient terminal 11 operates as a medical checkup result output apparatus. In this case, thereception unit 64 directly receives an instruction from theGUI control unit 50 instead of a distribution request or the like. In addition, the screenoutput control unit 66 outputs the generated various display screens to theGUI control unit 50. The medicalcheckup information server 17 may be made to operate as a medical checkup result output apparatus. - Thus, the hardware configuration of a computer can be appropriately changed according to the required performance, such as processing capacity, safety, or reliability. Needless to say, in order to ensure the safety and reliability, an application program, such as the
operation programs - In each of the embodiments described above, the medical checkup result display screen has been exemplified as a form of the output of the medical checkup result. However, the invention is not limited thereto. The output form of the medical checkup result includes print output to a paper medium or file output by e-mail or the like.
- In each of the embodiment described above, for example, the hardware structures of processing units for executing various kinds of processing, such as the
acquisition unit 60, thestorage search unit 61, thederivation unit 62, the derivationresult management unit 63, thereception unit 64, theextraction unit 65, the screenoutput control unit 66, thestandardization processing unit 205, and thenormalization processing unit 206, are various processors shown below. - Various processors include a CPU, a programmable logic device (PLD), a dedicated electrical circuit, and the like. As is well known, the CPU is a general-purpose processor that executes software (program) and functions as various processing units. The PLD is a processor whose circuit configuration can be changed after manufacturing, such a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The dedicated electrical circuit is a processor having a circuit configuration designed exclusively to execute specific processing, such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
- One processing unit may be configured by one of various processors, or may be a combination of two or more processors of the same type or different types (for example, a combination of a plurality of FPGAs or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). In addition, a plurality of processing units may be configured by one processor. As an example of configuring a plurality of processing units using one processor, first, there is a form in which one processor is configured by a combination of one or more CPUs and software and this processor functions as a plurality of processing units. Second, as represented by a system on chip (SoC) or the like, there is a form of using a processor for realizing the function of the entire system including a plurality of processing units with one IC chip. Thus, various processing units are configured by using one or more of the above-described various processors as a hardware structure.
- More specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors is an electrical circuit (circuitry) in the form of a combination of circuit elements, such as semiconductor elements.
